Despite the community calls to action and the city intensifying the safety and security measures in and around Table Mountain National Park (TMNP), the muggings have continued.
The Cape Town community group, Friends of Table Mountain, has launched a petition calling for immediate action to be taken to stop the escalating crime around the slopes of Table Mointain, Lion’s Head, and Signal Hill.
Crime watch groups have said that incidents recently occurred in Tafelberg Road, Cecilia Forest, Constantia Nek, and Scarborough.
