Banning of Fireworks by the City of Cape Town

City of Cape Town banned fireworks at designated sites. The City’s Mayco Member for Safety JP Smith announced there will be no fireworks discharge. Athlone CPF Peron Aziza Kannemeyer said Athlone Stadium a former discharge site would attract a lot of families and would discharge in that controlled environment with it being well managed with all necessary services present. The banning of the venue would mean everyone would do it in a dangerous area. Bishop Lavis CPF Chairperson Graham Lindhorst said they definitely welcome the decision to not have aby fireworks discharge sites as this comes with its own set of troubles in their community.
