The City of Cape Town will fork out R2.4 million to revamp the St James beachfront, including the iconic colourful beach bathing boxes. | Lisaleesolomon1
Earlier this month, the city announced that plans to remove the old green, blue, yellow and red bathing boxes and replace them with new ones were well in motion. It also said that the beach area itself will be improved with a widened walkway and a picnic area for visitors.
"[The] new boxes are already being installed; currently, the foundations are being constructed. [The huts were removed] earlier in October, and new ones will be in place by the end of November if all goes as planned. Thus, the turnaround time is very short," Andrews said."We will also improve the walkway and seating area so that visitors can use this space for picnicking.
