The body advises that anyone accessing the unauthorised area do so at their own risk and may be liable to a fine.
South African National Parks on Wednesday urged the public to adhere to signage informing of areas not open to the public on parts of the Lion’s Head within the Table Mountain National Park in Cape Town.
SANParks had confirmed that the sections in question were not open to the public due to the assessment of the work that has been conducted. SANParks’ head of corporate communications, Janine Raftopoulos, said that these sections included the newly installed staples and chains. “With the recent fires, SANParks had to delay the opening of Lions Head, and we’ve subsequently reopened the footpath section leading to the summit where maintenance work was successfully completed,” said Raftopoulos.
SANParks further requested that all visitors comply with the signage on site and use the existing or spiral pathway to reach the summit.
