Fed-up locals pray for rains

Residents living near Durban's Blue Lagoon yesterday turned to God to save them from yet another loud concert.

And within hours of their prayers the heavens opened up, threatening a washout of the open-air Good Sundae concert.

Residents said the city and police had failed to stop noisy concerts from continuing past midnight at Moses Mabhida Stadium and the Blue Lagoon's People's Park.

Cheryl Jaganath said she prayed for rain because her rights had been ignored.

Councillor Martin Meyer said: " We are not against concerts, but the rules have to be upheld, especially when a concert is held on a Sunday night."
