On 29 August 2025, the Table Mountain Rights Initiative hosted a vibrant public consultation at Erin Hall in Cape Town, bringing together community members, experts, and stakeholders to explore a groundbreaking vision: recognising Table Mountain, known as Hoerikwaggo and Umlindi Weningizimu, as a living legal entity with inherent rights.
The event was a dynamic space of dialogue, where diverse voices shared cultural, spiritual, and ecological perspectives on the Mountain’s profound significance. Through open conversations and collaborative group work, participants contributed their wisdom and stories, helping to shape a collective understanding and a future pathway for stronger legal protection of this iconic landmark.
As the initiative progresses, it promises to inspire new ways of relating to and protecting our natural world, embodying a shift towards Earth Jurisprudence that honours the rights of nature itself. This approach aims to safeguard Table Mountain for generations to come, fostering a deep connection between community, culture, and the environment.
