The City is committed to ensuring safer beach-going experiences for visitors, hence the reason for the advanced training of employees of the Shark Spotters Programme.

The City has approved the request by the Shark Spotters Programme to suspend their operations for the day as we believe that enhancing their safety skills is to the betterment of the service, and will benefit visitors to our coastline.

The beaches that will be affected on 4 July 2019 are Fish Hoek, St James/Kalk Bay, Muizenberg and the Caves at Kogel Bay.

Residents who plan to visit the beach on Thursday are encouraged to be vigilant and take the necessary safety precautions. All Shark Spotter operations will resume on Friday 5 July 2019, as per normal.
