Problem statement:
Crime on Table Mountain creates the perception that the mountain is dangerous, resulting in visitors feeling unsafe and questioning the ability of authorities to ensure their safety.
|
Partner(s):
South African National Parks (SANParks) manages a system of parks that represents the indigenous fauna, flora, landscapes and associated cultural heritage of the country. For this project, it has partnered with the City of Cape Town and the South African Police Service.
|
Intervention:
To ensure the safety of visitors on the mountain, SANParks will employ 50 unemployed young people as rangers. It will train the candidates in basic field ranger duties, field ranger resources guardianship and crime-prevention tactics. The trained rangers will be deployed to Table Mountain as permanent staff.
