There is no such thing as a "semi-legal nude beach". Nudity is either legal or it is not. In fact it was never illegal - if it was 75% of the population would have been breaking the day on a daily basis. Nudity on a beach is illegal if it is indecent exposure - i.e. nudity with aggravating features. A normally topless African girl would not be breaking the law. A topless European or Asian, engaging in "lewd acts" would be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.184.41.226 (talk) 01:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

semi legal is a vague term but what it means here is that the right to bathe naked is not protected by law, but people are very unlikely to be prosecuted for simply being nude. Wayne Jayes (talk) 08:17, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

user:MrKaalgat has twice added Route 42 to the Gauteng section. It looks too much like blatant advertising to me and I believe it should be removed Wayne Jayes (talk) 19:59, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell there are no places outside of South Africa where social nudity or naturism is practised. I would be very grateful if some does know of a place (that can be reliably verified) then please add it to the article or let me know and I will add it.

Africa is a continent with many indigenous peoples who continue to practice traditions that would objectively be called "social nudity". Instead, the content has only been about places for Naturism as practiced in Western cultures, which is nonexistent outside of South Africa as noted 8 years ago above. There is no indication that there are any "nude beaches" but instead places that individuals report having gotten away with nudity, but there are no reliable sources that the local governments in fact allows this. Other entries are about places to stay that promote naturism, but again without references. WriterArtistDC (talk) 23:19, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
