*Urgent Appeal to Hikers!* Please refrain from using the surrounding trails in the Newlands and Kirstenbosch area. We've encountered a number of hikers along the Back Table and the Contour Path. "If there is any way you can assist to spread the word about Newlands being closed to hikers and dog walkers, please do. We have people disregarding our staff and walking into the forest We currently have 3 helicopters and 80 firefighters on the fire" #sanparks #deepsouthreport
