Drakenstein's rule for fires in parks and resorts
Drakenstein Municipality's Public Amenities By-law, 2007, replaced the by-laws of the disestablished municipality of Paarl.
It says no person shall light a fire or prepare food in or at a public amenity, except at a place indicated for that purpose by notice.
Its definition of a public amenity includes a public resort, recreation site, nature reserve or park which is the property of the municipality.
The definition leaves out an amenity hired from the municipality, and one lawfully managed by someone else under an agreement.
So at a municipal park or resort in Paarl that the by-law covers, the spit goes only where a notice marks a place for fires or cooking.
For a hired or privately managed amenity, check the hire agreement and the fire rules that apply there.
For a farm or home, ask the owner where a cooking fire may stand and which fire rules apply there.

Questions from Paarl
Can we have a spit braai at a park in Paarl?
At a municipal park the by-law covers, only at a place a municipal notice marks for it, since Drakenstein's Public Amenities By-law, 2007, bars lighting a fire or preparing food anywhere else in a public amenity.
What does a mixed meat spit for 80 guests cost?
R16,320 at R204 a guest, before salads, desserts and travel.
Does Drakenstein's park rule apply on a private farm?
Not that rule, since the Public Amenities By-law is about parks, resorts and similar amenities which are the property of the municipality. On a private farm, check the farm's permission and the fire rules that apply there.
