The annual Festive Lights Switch-On event in Cape Town
Thousands of people are expected to attend the traditional Festival Lights Switch-On in the Cape Town CBD, Sunday evening.
Mayco member for Safety and Security, JP Smith, says security enhancements have been put in place to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.
He says various roads have been closed in and around the CBD.
“Our teams, in collaboration with service providers, work tirelessly across every detail from production to logistics to safety, security and transport management to ensure we deliver an excellent show for the around 80 000 residents and visitors who will join us in the evening,” says Smith.
He says the City Safety and Security personnel will be keeping a close eye on the event from the ground with some help from an eye in the sky.
“As always, we’re ready to respond swiftly to ensure that the event runs smoothly from start to finish,” he adds.
