According to the eThekwini Municipality, the failure was caused by the abuse of sewer infrastructure, with foreign objects obstructing the system.

Officials released a video showing workers removing rags that had clogged the pump, leading to its breakdown. The municipality emphasized that 21 other beaches along Durban's coastline remained open and safe for swimming.
