President Ramaphosa announced on Monday that South Africa is placed under an adjusted Level 3 lockdown until mid-January 2021.
He also announced that the Overstrand, as part of the Overberg District, was declared an official Covid-19 hotspot area.
After much debating on how to interpret the new adjusted Level 3 lockdown regulations, Overstrand Municipality’s Municipal Manager, senior officials and councillors decided that the mountain and hiking paths in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve will be open for hiking with immediate effect.
This is wonderful news on this last day of a very challenging year and will hopefully take the pressure off the cliff path and give residents and visitors alike an alternative option instead of going to the beach.
