💨 Abstract

The City of Cape Town plans to spend R180 million on a security wall along the N2 highway near Cape Town International Airport to combat violent crimes like smash-and-grab attacks and stone-throwing incidents. This move follows public pressure after high-profile incidents, including the murder of Karin van Aardt. The city has already deployed metro police officers and established a Highway Patrol Unit to enhance safety. The proposed wall is part of a broader strategy to improve security on this critical transport corridor.
