Cape Town extends public pool access to Wednesdays through Sundays until April 6 amid public outcry over initial closures.
Cape Town has reversed its plan to close most public swimming pools on weekdays, extending operations to Wednesdays through Sundays until April 6 as a pilot program.
The change follows public backlash, including a petition with over 600 signatures, after the city initially cited budget constraints and lower demand post-school reopening.
The expanded access aims to provide affordable recreation for low-income residents, support youth programs, and keep children off the streets.
Thirty-one pools will operate under the pilot, though some in areas like Manenberg and Delft will close for repairs starting early February.
Weekdays remain limited, with Mondays and Tuesdays reserved for maintenance.
The city will assess usage and feasibility to inform future scheduling, with results expected by season’s end.
