Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and Mayco Member for Safety and Security JP Smith will this morning be hiking on Table Mountain to highlight issues of safety.
They will be hiking with the tourism safety officers.
There have been several attacks including armed robberies of tourists, hikers, athletes and cyclists on Table Mountain and surrounds, leading to various organisations calling for more urgent interventions.
Table Mountain National Park says special operations are conducted in partnership with SANParks, the South African Police Service and City of Cape Town law enforcement.
