|October 29, 2025
AFTER six mountain rescues across the province this past weekend, CapeNature has called on South Africans to be ambassadors for safety and help international visitors stay informed as the summer hiking season begins.

Wilderness Search and Rescue (WSAR) spokesperson David Nel said rescue teams were dispatched to help with incidents that took place on Table Mountain, Stellenbosch and Lion's Head between Friday and Sunday night. These ranged from lost hikers to trail injuries, and all were preventable with better preparation and awareness.
"Every incident highlights the importance of calling the correct emergency number - 021 937 0300 - as soon as help is needed," Nel said. "Safety on the mountain is a shared responsibility. Plan ahead, research your route and be ready for changing weather."

Telling the truth shouldn't be a death sentence
SOUTH Africa loves a commission. We watch them like national crime dramas. We gasp, we tweet, we analyse and then we move on. But the people sitting in those witness boxes do not get to move on. Their danger does not end when the cameras stop rolling. For many of them, that is exactly when the danger begins.
