Abuse and Littering of Public Places

The Gans-Berg Nuus regularly receives complaints about the misuse of parks and even the cemeteries - unwanted elements sleep, eat, drink and sleep there. Among the most important complaints are that these places are littered with empty bottles and empty food containers and that even old clothes and blankets are simply left there - including vandalism where damage is caused. Please keep our public places clean and neat and without destroying or damaging anything.

Here are a few guidelines concerning Municipal Regulations:

In cemeteries, it is illegal to get drunk, picnic, enter at night, and enter by one’s self if that person is younger than 10.

No person shall:

(4) Use the cemeteries as picnic grounds, consume alcoholic beverages in a cemetery, or bring the same upon the premises.
(9) No child under the age of ten (10) years shall be allowed in any cemetery unless accompanied by an adult.
(11) Be within the cemetery at any time other than daylight hours except for cemetery employees, police officers, or by authorization of the superintendent.

Most cemeteries don't allow alcohol on the premises. Most have signs explaining that rule. And in general, if somebody notices, they can ask you to leave or call the police to compel you to leave. More information can be obtained at Gansbaai Municipal Administration.
