Holidaymakers from across the country have flocked to Western Cape beaches to cool off as temperatures soar over the festive season. Other measures, such as cameras and a new alarm system, had also been introduced to assist with shark awareness, Butterworth said. "Our beaches were incredibly busy, but no major incidents were reported. As expected, alcohol consumption proved problematic once more," said Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith.
However, many drivers had to practice patience as there was an abundance of Law Enforcement officials stopping each vehicle to check licences and make sure no one slipped in any illegal substances or alcohol. The Smith family from Mitchells Plain said they weren't sure if they would be able to get a spot on the beach, because traffic heading out of the area was a"nightmare."
