Cape Town – Covid-19 denialists and those against wearing of protective masks were among the almost 200 people who gathered at Muizenberg beach at the weekend in protest against the adjusted Level 3 restrictions.
Several beaches were the site of similar smaller demonstrations on Saturday, after a notification circulated on Facebook, calling on “surfers to business owners and vendors” to take a stand against lockdown restrictions.
Beaches in Sea Point, Plettenberg Bay, Fish Hoek, Milnerton, Clifton, Blouberg and Llandudno in the Western Cape and Pipe in Port Elizabeth, were earmarked for the “Beach Turn Up” demonstrations.
