With the recent spate of questions regarding the safety on Table Mountain, the MEC of the Western Cape Department of Finance and Tourism, Lynne Brown says she plans to meet with officials to look at possible safety solutions.
“We plan to meet with South African National Parks and the Department of Community Safety.
We also want to get in touch with the mountain Club of South Africa to hear their concerns and suggestions,” says Brown.
Brown says she is concerned that one of the tourism icons is under such threat, not only for Cape Town tourist but also locals.
“As we head into tourist season, the warm weather also encourages Capetonians to explore the natural beauty of their city,” says Brown.
She added that those who do decide to visit the mountain, whether local or foreign, should be able to do so unharmed.
