Cape Town beefs up security ahead of Sevens tournament
The City of Cape Town’s Safety and Security MMC JP Smith says security has been beefed up ahead of this weekend’s World Rugby Sevens tournament.
Thousands of rugby fans are expected to attend the events at the Cape Town Stadium this weekend.
The city has recently seen a series of robberies on Table Mountain, as well as attacks on international tourists visiting the Mother City.
Smith says due to an influx of people, parking will be limited in and around the stadium.
“The city is availing the MyCiTi service for free to ticket holders to get to the stadium and we encourage fans to make use of the service.
"For those who want to walk to the stadium, there will be deployment of safety and security personnel along the Fan Walk in Green Point.
We implore those driving to the event to please refrain from parking illegally or blocking residential driveways with their vehicle. It’s all systems go from our side, and we are looking forward to hosting the thousands of fans in our beautiful city.”
