Tonquani Southern Access Road

I looked up some old updates regarding the road:

Construction of a “road” up the southern slopes of the Magaliesberg leading to Upper Tonquani:

It has come to the attention of the MCSA and the Magaliesberg Protection
Association(MPA) that a “road” has been constructed from the Bertram’s parking
area up the southern slopes of the Magaliesberg to the nek leading to the MCSA
property known as Upper Tonquani. The “road” doesn’t encroach onto the MCSA
land and as we only have an access servitude over the property on which the “road”
is situated, there is not much we as a club can do about it. According to the MPA a
land owner in the MPE area has to obtain special permission to construct a road of
this nature if used for commercial use. However, the land owner insists that this is
not a “road” but rather a track to be used for fire fighting vehicles in the event of a
veld fire. The Land and Access committee had a meeting with the MPA to discuss the
matter and it was decided that a meeting was to be arranged between the MCSA and
the land owner to discuss the matter and to find out the full intentions for the “road”.

We request all members of the MCSA, NOT to attempt to drive up this “road” as it
will be seen as trespassing, as our servitude only allows us access via the foot path
from the parking area to the nek.

I don't know anything about the fence. Haven't used that access since about 2009 since I tend to only use the access across Cederberg from MSP.
