In addition, his jaw was broken \u2013 which has resulted in a titanium plate having to be surgically inserted into his jaw.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A picture of a man\u2019s bloodied face accompanied the social media post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outdoor enthusiasts are urged to be careful, move in groups, carry pepper spray and consider using tracking devices in cellphones or watches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease be aware that no arrests have yet been made \u2013 so take adequate precautions in this part of the Table Mountain National Park (TMNP),\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hikers who may have had a similar experience in the vicinity are requested to come forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHikers, runners, bikers who may have had a run-in with muggers between Kleinplaas Dam above Red Hill\/Simon\u2019s Town and across to Witsands, Soetwater and Kommetjie are invited to contact us to contribute to the body of evidence being gathered \u2013 whether or not a formal case has been opened, and regardless of the period of time that has subsequently lapsed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in a statement, organisers of the RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town are urging authorities to prioritise and increase safety and security efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCrime not only jeopardises the safety of visitors but threatens Cape Town\u2019s image as a welcoming and safe destination for international travellers,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual RMB Ultra-trail Cape Town, which takes place between Friday 22 and Sunday 24 November, will see over 2 800 local and international runners and their companions take to Table Mountain trails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiven the mountain\u2019s critical importance to the local and national economy, authorities urgently need to prioritise and increase safety and security efforts, especially as the summer tourist season approaches,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart McConnachie, race director, called for more to be done to ensure the safety of athletes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Blockquote\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_92205da0\">\n<div class=\"text\">While some measures have been implemented, including increased patrols and the installation of security cameras, there is a pressing need for more to be done.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese efforts need to be visible and sustained. We call on the City of Cape Town and SANParks to better communicate existing safety plans and future initiatives to reassure the public and potential visitors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that, as race organisers, they need to reassure athletes that every effort is being made to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions sent by <span><em>People\u2019s Post <\/em><\/span>to Ocean View police on Wednesday 18 September, went unanswered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, in response to questions regarding the incident and safety measures implemented at Table Mountain National Parks (TMNP), SANParks responded with a statement claiming the reports were causing unnecessary alarm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSANParks has taken note of reports suggesting that there are growing concerns of crime on TMNP,\u201d the statement read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cConsidering official statistics and visitor numbers, such expressions are speculative and may cause unnecessary alarm which undermines worthy and successful efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to SANParks, crime statistics have drastically decreased over the last year from 16 and 32 incidents respectively in October and November last year to six in July and three in August this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBehind the success of the TMNP\u2019s safety and security interventions is a partnership-based strategy that is informed by the belief that on its own, SANParks cannot play its part in the realisation of the current internationally recognised successful conservation story for which South Africa is acknowledged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The forum is a partnership comprising SANParks, South African Police Service (SAPS), and the City. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSANParks has increased boots on the ground through newly appointed ranger corps and is currently implementing a recruitment plan for expanding the renowned Sea, Air and Mountain (SEAM) team; supported by aerial resources and the K9 unit,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hikers and runners are being cautioned to be extra vigilant after a couple was allegedly brutally attacked on Slangkop mountain
