NATIONAL NEWS - The Table Mountain Watch group says that authorities have failed to implement a proper plan to ensure the safety of hikers despite calls to do so three months ago.
The group has reacted to a surge in attacks on hikers on trails in the Table Mountain National Park recently.
Two men, pretending to be hikers, attacked nine people in the Silvermine Nature Reserve above Kalk Bay over the weekend.
A week ago, a 39-year-old Egyptian tourist was stabbed on Noordhoek beach.
Wilderness Search and Rescue officials say that one of their volunteers was seriously injured during Saturday’s attack in the Silvermine Nature Reserve.
