Cape Town Ward 54 councillor Nicola Jowell said on Facebook that at valedictory parties at Clifton beach on Friday, there was an incident where a fight broke out.
“Despite reports there were no deaths and no severe injuries. One person did receive medical assistance at the beach for a cut on the head after a nasty altercation, Jowell said.
Jowell said about 40 metropolitan police, law enforcement and police officials were deployed at the beach and from late Friday afternoon, roadblocks were in place and “large volumes of alcohol” were confiscated.
“When the incident occurred all agencies were on the scene and the fight stopped extremely quickly with the direct intervention from Camps Bay SAPS senior management,” Jowell said.
She said the beach was empty just after 7.30pm on Friday.
