We appeal to residents not to cut or remove burnt standing trees and fynbos that remain after the controlled burn in Kleinmond last month. Even if YOU think it looks ugly and spoil your sea view.

Kleinmond’s environmental officer, Tamzyn Zwigg urges all Hangklip-Kleinmond residents to please refrain from continuing with this activity.

Attached are three photos taken in Lower Beach Road, Kleinmond on 15 October 2019 where residents cut down the burnt vegetation after the controlled burn. 

“Your actions can be even more devastating to the rehabilitation of the veld than you realise,” she added

This is why:

The lack of old, dying or burnt vegetation is a major cause of biodiversity loss.

Residents in the Greater Hermanus area face stricter water restrictions from 1 November 2019, when Level 3 water restrictions will be implemented.

The De Bos Dam level measured on 13 October 2019 was at 43.96%, with 10.5mm of rain recorded for the week.

These measures apply to the administrative area of Hermanus only, in other words to all residential areas from Benguela Cove through Fisherhaven to Voëlklip.

Other administrative areas within Overstrand are not affected by these measures since they still have sufficient water resources.
