On Tuesday, the DA’s application to overturn the closure of the Garden Route’s beaches was dismissed by the Western Cape High Court.
The North Gauteng High Court has dismissed AfriForum’s application to have the closure of beaches overturned.
This after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that all beaches in the Eastern Cape, Garden Route, would be closed from 16 December to 3 January. He also said all beaches in KwaZulu-Natal would be closed on 16, 25, 26 and 31 December, as well as from 1 January to 3 January.
The Afrikaner lobby group had submitted a motion to the court in Pretoria on 15 December to have the regulations declared unconstitutional.
