Table Mountain National Park, a stunning natural wonder in Cape Town facing a surge in crime, including muggings, poaching, and forest destruction, requires immediate interventions to prevent it from becoming inaccessible and harming the tourism sector. Shortcomings in resource allocation mean that only a third of the park’s generated income is redirected back to combat crime. Proposed solutions include immediate recruitment of rangers, security infrastructure, a collaborative security plan, and doubling the current allocation of resources. As advocates for TMNP, Friends of Table Mountain urge you to sign the petition to demand urgent action and protect the park’s unparalleled rugged beauty.
