South African National Parks (SANParks) announces that during the latter part of May 2021, the Table Mountain National Park will commence with the stakeholder and public engagement process for the review of the Tokai Cecilia Management Framework. The intended first review of the framework was delayed in 2015 by the Peninsula fires, the 2016 to mid-2018 litigation process, and the subsequent Covid-19 pandemic made direct public engagements in this format not possible.

Table Mountain National Park (TMNP) will now commence with the review through a facilitated public engagement session with all stakeholders and interested groups. The facilitation process aims to find realistic and viable options and scenarios for the future of Tokai and Cecilia areas as vital management sections of the TMNP, similar to areas such as Silvermine and Noordhoek wetlands, which were also subject to significant changes upon being incorporated into the Table Mountain National Park.

The facilitator and SANParks will soon publish the arrangements for the stakeholder and public engagement meeting and relevant contact details.

“TMNP is calling upon all our relevant stakeholders, Interested and Affected Parties, authorities and the public to participate in this process” says TMNP Park Manager, Frans van Rooyen.
