\n

Numerous residents and organisations are concerned about public drinking at Bloubergstrand Beach and the Milnerton Lagoon, with some reporting glass chards found in the sand.<\/p>\n

During a recent Community Policing Forum (CPF) in Milnerton, public drinking was one of the key focuses, with safety officials explaining that public drinking would be met with arrest. One of the metro police officers at the meeting said they focus on public drinking especially when beach patrols are conducted.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWhen drivers are standing on the side of the road and caught consuming alcohol and drinking in public (this) is considered as two separate fines\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a test is done, fines are issued to all if found in the car (R500 each) for drinking in public and consuming alcohol in public, even when it happens at a mall or supermarket. Arrests are made if over the legal alcohol limit is found.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Glass shard<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Save a Fishie\u2019s Zo\u00eb Prinsloo says they have found several broken glass chards during their beach clean-ups.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime and time again we find the most horrific shards of broken glass protruding from the sand waiting for little toes or furry paws to step on them,\u201d Prinsloo said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

They have had two incidents of clean-up crews cutting their feet on broken glass in the sand. \u201cThe\u00ad most recent had to go to the emergency room for stitches,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen will people learn? When will they think? When will they be held responsible for their actions? Public drinking is a problem. Enjoy the beach without alcohol. Yes, it is possible!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

A resident in Bloubergstrand says over weekends the beach is so crowded that you can\u2019t even walk your pet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen many people drink alcohol at Bloubergstrand Beach. The unrest afterwards is quite disturbing,\u201d Leonora Cummings says.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Zero tolerence<\/h3>\n

Mayco member for safety and security, JP Smith, says its officers have zero tolerance for anyone consuming alcohol in the City of Cape Town\u2019 public spaces.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhile we will never be able to confiscate every bit of alcohol brought to a public space, or have a list of definitive reasons for trends, we do have some anecdotal evidence from our staff\u2019s interactions with the public,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cAmong the reasons shared, include that some have opted to set up inflatable pools at home, and party there instead of heading out.\u201d

<\/p>\n

\n

Smith added that a fine of R500 would be issued to anyone contravening the City\u2019s by-laws.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we must be clear. Alcohol is not allowed on the beaches. Do not drink and drive. We arrest countless drivers each weekend for being over the limit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Smith added: \u201cIf you have been drinking and find yourself at the beach, do not enter the water. The ocean is a force of nature that shows no mercy to those with impaired judgement. When out with friends, be sure to keep your belongings under a watchful eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alcohol confiscated<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Earlier this year, the City of Cape Town said it is cautiously optimistic following a 20% decline in alcohol confiscated at its beaches during the festive season.<\/p>\n

According to the City, law enforcement officials seized over 17\u2009000 bottles of alcohol between October last year and January 2024.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe were very concerned about the Easter weekend falling over a month-end period, and unfortunately far too many of the statistical indicators point once more to the use, and abuse of alcohol,<\/p>\n

\n

I am perplexed by the sharp increase in motor vehicle accidents and the number of incidents related to interpersonal violence calls,\u201d said Smith in a media statement.<\/p>\n

Police have also issued a stern warning to beachgoers to rather drink at home and not on the beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
