With the festive season fast approaching, the City of Cape Town has released its public safety operational plan for the holidays.
The plan has been designed to ensure public safety over the December and January period and includes roaming vehicle checkpoints, roadblocks, visits to resorts, swimming pools and increased law enforcement at public spaces.
A total of 1 139 operational members from the Metro Police, Traffic Services and Law Enforcement Departments will be deployed in accordance with the festive season policing plan.
In addition, on high-priority days over the festive season, Disaster Risk Management Centre personnel, volunteers and resources will be deployed across the metropolitan areas.
The plan also makes provision for other support role players on critical days with regard to access control at identified priority beaches, as well as regular beach patrols and enforcement of by-laws relating to beach management.
More than 270 lifeguards will be on duty at various beaches and there will be patrols at tourist destinations, including Table Mountain.
This report follows the incident that took place on Noordhoek beach in the Western Cape on Thursday afternoon (Nov 30), where two Austrian tourists sustained multiple stab wounds after being attacked.
The Austrian couple, Klaus Michl and Johanna Michl are stable, reported The South African.
