Several protesters were arrested after police warned that they had to keep moving during the exercise period.
Those who did not move were arrested, reports News24 journalist Murray Williams, who was on the scene.
They were arrested for standing still.

Initially, the police seemed to be okay with the protest, but then things changed.

According to Williams, one protester fled the scene on his bicycle and a police chase ensued. "He decided to cycle off despite the police insisting that he was under arrest", he told CapeTalk.

Surfer Andrew Ma says the government has not given any compelling reason why ocean sports cannot resume under level 4.
What would the reason be? What's wrong with walking on the beach? What is the government's reason? That's what people are trying to highlight.

Surfer Alan van Gysen says gathering in one place to stage the protest was not the most sensible idea, although he supports the movement.
