SANParks ranger getting counselling after getting attcked by cyclists in Newlands

 A South African National Parks ranger is undergoing trauma counselling after she was attacked by a group of cyclists in Newlands, Cape Town.

The men allegedly v disrespected the woman's authority, jumped over a wall and entered the area marked as a danger zone. It was stated that she was also insulted, racially abused and pelted with stones after cyclists demanded entry to a cordoned-off section, last month.

The section is one of three that remain closed to the public following last month's Table Mountain blaze. 

SANParks Rey Thakuli on Tuesday called on the public to assist in reducing the number of attacks on rangers. Rondebosch police said they are probing the matter.
