Cape Town â The governmentâs move to enforce stricter lockdown measures, including the closure of some beaches in Covid-19 âhotspotsâ has prompted DA politicians to cry foul, with legal action to halt what they described as an unconstitutional overreach.
On the first day of the new measures, the Garden Routeâs beaches from Keurboomstrand right through to Witsand were deserted as bathers adhered to the new restrictions.
Garden Route District Municipality mayor Memory Booysen (DA) said: âWe are not satisfied with these regulations and we are challenging it with the Presidency. What we want is some leniency because why should we be treated any differently to KwaZulu-Natal. We want at least people to spend time on the beach. This will have a devastating impact on the businesses surrounding the beaches and the accommodation industry.â
