Muizenberg's beach huts: A nostalgic landmark faces dismantling

The City of Cape Town announced plans to dismantle four remaining beach huts at Muizenberg Beach as part of a larger beachfront refurbishment project. The removal is scheduled for next week, following the earlier removal of four huts on the western side in March. The project aims to replace the huts with new structures that match the historical design while addressing climate change concerns such as rising sea levels and storm surges. The new promenade will be built further inland, requiring a 2-meter setback. Officials emphasized that the removal is necessary for safety and infrastructure improvements, and they thanked the community for their patience during the process.
