“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law enforcement agency for assistance”
Reports of a suspicious item allegedly discovered on Macassar Beach, False Bay have had Capetonians confused, concerned and guessing. The item which many have suspected to be a bomb or a type of practice grenade was discovered on the beach by local Esmarie Fourie who shared the photo of it on a Facebook group for locals in the Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Somerset West and Stellenbosch areas. Esmarie informed people that when she had found it, she and another had “kicked it loose” not knowing what it was, before calling the police and bomb unit. Sand was eventually put inside the unidentified item described to have been old. One local noted to Cape {town} Etc that there is a munitions plant close by (Denel) and could’ve been theirs. A Facebook user also seemed to suspect the same, commenting “Denel losing their toys”. The exact details of what the item was have not been disclosed. Cape {town} Etc has reached out to the police for comment on the situation, and awaits further details.
