Doors to the refurbished beach huts at Muizenberg Beach have been removed to curb ongoing \u201cpetty vandalism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is according to Angela Gorman, founder and trustee of the Beach Huts Trust. She describes vandalism such as damage to the doors as an ongoing problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it is petty vandalism, people breaking the doors or leaving the huts disgusting and filthy dirty. We have just repaired the damage to the Nutec, which is close to the doors, and we have repaired the slacks in the windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe also have a team to clean the huts before and after the weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January last year, the City of Cape Town allocated R3 million towards the repairing and refurbishing of the iconic huts, while the rest of the funds came from fundraising efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe doors have been removed to stop people from vandalizing, so you will always be visible from the outside. If you are using the hut as a changing room, you can always ask a friend to hold up a towel in the doorway.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added that the City has been great in scraping off paint from some of the huts to give them a fresh coat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are 13 huts that still need to be refurbished. We have done eight huts in the front and seven along the east section of the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo refurbish one hut costs around R100 000, so we are looking for businesses and sponsors who would like to donate the materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Nutec was donated to us and we are looking for help to build the stairs and the structural parts, so we need wood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
