Scores of holiday makers are expected to descend on beaches in Cape Town Tuesday.
Mayoral Committee Member for Safety, Security and Social Services, J.P. Smith says the City’s officials are geared up and well prepared to deal with the high volumes of beachgoers anticipated for the Day of Goodwill.
He says there will be extensive traffic deployment along the Atlantic Seaboard and False Bay coastlines.
Smith says they’ve also increased the number of lifeguards at beaches to ensure safety.
“We’ve got extensive law enforcement deployed on the beaches to keep the alcohol off the beaches and to keep everybody safe. We’ve already had some good action from our facility protection officers who’ve been working in plain clothes dealing with robberies and also the interception of alcohol being brought onto the beaches and 100 more lifeguards than last year ensures that our beaches are as safe as they can be, but we ask that the public work with us and swim between the designated areas so we can make sure that this is a time of celebration for everybody.”
