Cape Town: The Old Seawall at Surfer’s Corner has been removed, and the sandstone rocks are being preserved for re-use. The refurbishment of the Muizenberg beachfront entails major upgrades to public amenities by replacing the aged seawalls.
Considering this, Deputy Mayor and Member of the Mayoral Committee for Spatial Planning and Environment – Alderman Eddie Andrews said that the project is moving along well, despite the problems occurring due to rainy weather.
Deputy Mayor Andrews expressed that he visited the beachfront a few days ago, and the project team confirmed that all is on track to open the eastern parking area on the beach side, in front of the Muizenberg Civic Centre, to the public by August 01, 2025. He said, “I know our surfing community will be very excited to hear this.”
Furthermore, he confirmed that next is the removal of sections of the existing seawall at Surfer’s Corner. These original sandstone rocks make up the wall that will be stored and later assessed for incorporation into the new design as they are key to the corner’s heritage.
Notably, the next community meeting will be held on August 20, 2025 around 5:30 p.m. at the Zandvlei Lookout. Eddie Andrews stated that he encouraged the local residents and business owners to attend to get the latest updates about the project timelines and progress.
The Muizenberg Beachfront project is a great initiative taken by the public amenities to upgrade the sector and replace the aged seawalls with the new ones at the Surfer’s Corner.
Such works are done on various time periods to amend and renovate the sites which needs refurbishment and needs to be upgraded. These upgradation works are testament that the promises make by the City of Cape Town government are being kept.
The Cape Town federation is keeping its promises made to the people and the city residents for the welfare of the town and its development.
