Anne McDonnell, the DA Spokesperson on Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, is urging all stakeholders, including SAPS, DAFF, Transnet, as well as many members of the public as possible to attend.

‘The idea is to take the concerns of the public to provincial government, to get more permanent coastal management plans in place,’ said McDonnell.
