Durban - The scarlet and white façade of the uMhlanga Rocks lighthouse is getting a fresh coat of paint, according to Transnet National Ports Authority .
“The project includes the painting of the uMhlanga Rocks lighthouse tower - interior and exterior - and lantern house. It is difficult to provide an exact end date for the project since much of the work is weather dependent,” said David Gordan, the executive manager of lighthouse and navigational systems at TNPA.
The lighthouse, which was commissioned in 1954 and last painted in 2015, is being modified because of compulsory procedure to keep it in excellent shape. “The painting of the tower and lantern house is part of the assets maintenance schedule and is done every five to seven years.”
