SANParks Still Managing Tokai Silvermine Flareups
SANParks is still managing occasional flareups at Tokai and Silvermine and urges the public to keep off trails for their own safety.
It would be premature to allow the public back at the trails whilst clearance of nails and pins is still underway. The area remains unstable under foot.
We appeal to the public not to enter closed trails because it could be dangerous and result in trampling of emerging vegetation or disturbance of wildlife that has minimal areas of refuge while the vegetation cover regrows.
At this stage it is impossible to predict when the closed areas will be opened. Announcements will be made at the appropriate moments.
The weather service is forecasting rain this weekend which will necessitate another assessment as rains will inevitably destabilise slopes and cause localised rockfalls.
