The Mercury
|October 23, 2025
THE eThekwini Municipality has moved to dispel concerns about the progress of the work to repair and renovate Durban's Kings Park Swimming Pool, stating that the work is set to resume in December this year.
The municipality clarified that the work has not been halted but new procurement processes are underway to finalise the project.
Community members had expressed worry about the project's status, fearing that work in the area had stopped.
The pool is undergoing significant upgrades and repairs.
eThekwini Municipality’s spokesperson, Gugu Sisilana, stated that Phase 1 is complete, while documentation for Phase 2 is being finalised through architectural panels.
“The construction work will commence on 1 December 2025. Administrative and procurement work is currently underway,” she added.
“The project has not been halted. The Municipality had to start a new procurement process since the financial year began in July with the new budget allocation. The new completion date is June 2026,” she concluded.
