Several parties interested in advocating access to Hottentots Holland and Jonkershoek Nature Reserves who compiled a report entitled “Hottentots Holland and Jonkershoek Nature Reserve Recreational Access Proposal” have stated that “fruitful meetings” were held with CapeNature management and that they were optimistic about the reopening of several trails.
A mounted challenge to unrestricted access to a number of hiking trails closed by CapeNature in recent years and months is being led by a group of frustrated hikers, mountaineers, members of Protected Area Advisory Committees (PAACs) and even tourism bodies.
