Shark Spotters off duty on Saturday 27 April 2019

The City of Cape Town would like to inform beach-goers that the Shark Spotters’ team will be off duty on Saturday 27 April 2019 due to their attendance of a funeral service for one of their fallen colleagues. The Fish Hoek shark exclusion net will also not be deployed. Read more below:

The beaches that will be affected are: The Hoek at Noordhoek, Glencairn, Fish Hoek, Clovelly, St James, Kalk Bay, Muizenberg, Monwabisi and Caves at Kogel Bay.

The Shark Spotters’ operations will resume on Sunday 28 April 2019.

‘The City has approved the request to suspend the Shark Spotters’ services for the day to attend the funeral of their colleague who passed away last week. We believe this will give them an opportunity to pay their last respects and thereby find a measure of closure,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Marian Nieuwoudt.

‘As a safe city, the safety of beach-goers, residents and visitors is our priority, hence we appeal to everyone using the beach area to be extra vigilant tomorrow.’

The Information Centre at Surfers Corner Beach in Muizenberg will also not be open to members of the public for the day.
