In response to a concerning surge in crime on one of Cape Town\u2019s tourism hotspots, over 250 residents, security groups and government officials gathered at Jan van Riebeeck Primary School Hall on Thursday 2 November to discuss proactive measures to enhance mountain safety.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Much like the South African\u2019s talent to tackle things head-on like we did in the World Cup Rugby, local communities are rallying together to do the same in response to the crime surge affecting visitors, walkers, hikers and tourists on Table Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to a concerning surge in crime on one of Cape Town\u2019s tourism hotspots, over 250 residents, security groups and government officials gathered at Jan van Riebeeck Primary School Hall on Thursday 2 November to discuss proactive measures to enhance mountain safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe meeting was organised as part of the Mountain Safety Initiative, which aims to empower the community to play an active role in curbing criminal activities,\u201d the meeting\u2019s organiser Clarissa Coetzee told People\u2019s Post<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the meeting\u2019s purpose was about information sharing among residents, and various stakeholders safeguarding the mountain and empowering ordinary citizens with means to safeguard those frequenting the famed and beloved Natural Wonder attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to know which channels any suspicious activity surrounding the mountain can be reported to. As residents, not knowing exactly all the challenges faced by police and law enforcement, it\u2019s easy to point the frustrated finger for action. However, we also believe crime on Table Mountain has reached a level that needs the community\u2019s involvement to help curb and report crime to be responded to,\u201d Coetzee continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable among the speakers was Blake Dyason, the founder of Love Our Trails, who passionately addressed those attending, urging them to be part of the solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized the importance of community involvement in assisting law enforcement by being the \u201ceyes and ears\u201d on Table Mountain. He encouraged attendees to engage with various social media groups and save contact details for organisations dedicated to mountain safety, such as Love Our Trails, Take Back our Mountains, Friends of Cape Town, SANParks and Wilderness Search and Rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyason highlighted the challenges law enforcement faces in patrolling the mountain due to capacity limitations and implored the community to report all incidents and suspicious individuals through the provided channels. He revealed that his team is actively developing a system to compile incident data more accurately, enabling a more effective response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those interested in contributing to mountain safety further, Andy Davies, the chair of Friends of Table Mountain, proposed the establishment of neighbourhood watch trail groups. He encouraged individuals keen on initiating such groups to get in touch with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognising the constraints faced by SANParks in managing Table Mountain, those present were urged by Davies to address their concerns directly by writing to Minister Barbara Creecy, who oversees the Ministry of Forestry and Fisheries and Environmental Affairs. He also encouraged residents to advocate for increased resources and manpower for mountain patrols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Back Our Mountains (TBOM) is a committed non-profit group that has been conducting visitor safety patrols three times a week for the past six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn that particular evening [of the meeting], our patrol was focused on Deer Park. We extend our best wishes to the stakeholders who will be taking over the patrols and emphasize the importance of their safety,\u201d said its founder Taahir Osman in an interview with People\u2019s Post on Wednesday 8 November. He adds that they have, regrettably so, made the difficult decision to discontinue their visitor safety patrols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis choice stems from the lack of cooperation from certain members of the [SANParks Table Mountain] management team \u2013 despite our efforts to propose various fundraising ideas and safety initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keri Cross, the developer of the safety solution app Buzzer, also addressed the meeting. She explained how Buzzer collaborates with security companies, neighbourhood watches, and first responders to provide a coordinated approach to safety. Buzzer\u2019s unique capabilities include geolocating users upon app activation and sending alerts to local control rooms, response teams, and residents in the vicinity of an incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Centre police were approached by People\u2019s Post<\/span> for exact figures of incidents reported around Table Mountain over the past few months, but they had not responded by the time of going to print yesterday (13 November).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
