Meanwhile, thousands of Capetonians and visitors flocked to the City of Cape Town’s (COCT) beaches and pools over the past weekend, not only to escape the heat but to also enjoy the last few days before everyone resumes their normal schedules.
According to the COCT it has been three years since its beaches welcomed a record number of people over the festive period, as Saturday was one of the busiest beach days in the last few years.
