Durban's beachfront inundated with lost tourists using Google Maps wrong

DURBAN - The Durban beachfront was overrun with lost tourists yesterday, all claiming to be following Google Maps directions to the nearby uShaka Marine World.

"It told me to turn left at the pier and walk straight into the ocean," said tourist Rakel Fernandes, who was found wading through ankle-deep water. "I thought maybe it's a new shortcut or something."

The incident has sparked a heated debate about the reliability of Google Maps, with locals joking that it's a clever ploy to increase beach tourism.

uShaka Marine World has issued a statement apologizing for the confusion and offering free shark tank tours to all affected tourists.

Google Maps has yet to comment on the incident, but sources say they're working on a new update that will include "common sense" as a navigation option.

Local really is lekker!
