Tokai and Silvermine trails to reopen

The Tokai and Silvermine East trails that were closed due to the fire that ravaged Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) in April, will be reopened to the public next month (July).

South African National Parks (SANParks) confirmed that these trails, including Kalk Bay, St James, Muizenberg mountains and the Steenberg Plateau will reopen on Tuesday 1 July.

Previously, People’s Post reported that firefighters battled a blaze that scorched nearly 3 000 ha of vegetation in Silvermine, Tokai and Boyes Drive areas of the TMNP (“Authorities remain on alert,” People’s Post, 29 April).

The Silvermine picnic site and boardwalk around the dam as well as the riverwalk and other trails will remain closed as all the infrastructure at Silvermine West was damaged and the ablution blocks burnt down.
