Bryant, Mr D W to ask the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment

(1) Given that the Table Mountain National Park (TMNO) falls under the jurisdiction of SA Nation Parks (SANParks) and is home to many wild animals, which can lead to conflict between humans and animal, what steps has the SANParks taken to manage dangerous animal species within the boundaries of the TMNP; (2) Whether SANParks has a Standard Operating Procedure and/or policy on fence line maintenance, including fire breaks; if not, why not, in each case; if so, does SANParks install fencing infrastructure in strategic areas where there is a potential conflict between humans and animals?
