Over the festive season, there was a rather different and peculiar “protest” happening at the Mpenjati Nature Reserve.





For the past 20 years or so, the beach has been an unofficial nude beach and despite calls from the MEC of COGTA (Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs) for municipalities to remove signs to warn beachgoers that they make encounter nudists, the naturalists still went to the beach and did their nude beaching thing.





The chairman of SA National Naturists Association said that until there were formal by law against nude bathing in place, they would not stop going to the beach and enjoying it in the nude.





Now nude has never been the thing for me. Whether it be someone saying “Please send me your nudes, Zabz” or nude beaching or skinny dipping, it has never been on my list of things to do.





Would you visit a nude beach, and display yourself?
