The Table Mountain National Park says the engagement with the Department of Environment has strengthened relationships between all role-players of the protected area.
Minister Barbara Creecy this week met with members of the public, user-groups and other role-players at the National Park, to engage, discuss and find solutions to issues faced when accessing and enjoying the reserve.
Park Manager at the National Park, Frans van Rooyen, says the dialogue succeeded in improving communications among concerned parties.
