Concerns Over the Future of Muizenberg’s Beach Huts

Recently, there has been growing concern among the public regarding the future of the iconic Muizenberg beach huts as the City of Cape Town (CoCT) embarks on a significant upgrade of the beachfront.

A lot of misinformation had been circulating on social media about the fate of the huts, so the City felt it was important to clarify the situation and put people’s minds at ease.

They confirmed that while the eight beach huts on the beachfront will indeed be removed, they will be replaced with identical new huts, keeping the same look and feel as the originals.

What’s Happening to the Huts?

The City reassured the public that the new huts would stay true to the historic design of the existing ones, with the same colors and patterns.

The huts will also be moved slightly, as the new promenade will be further inland than before.

This means they will be relocated just two meters from their current spots.

However, to move the huts, they will need to be taken apart, and there’s a possibility that they could be damaged in the process.

That’s why new huts will be built to match the original ones exactly, ensuring they preserve the charm and heritage of Muizenberg.

What’s the Bigger Picture?

The beachfront upgrade, which officially began last week, is part of a larger project that will improve the area over the next two years.

The work will happen in phases, with a focus on enhancing the overall look and feel of Muizenberg’s iconic coastal area.

With these exciting upgrades underway, it’s natural to wonder how the area will look once completed.

Are you excited to see the end result?
