The City of Cape Town yesterday revealed a detailed plan regarding the demolition of the iconic Athlone cooling towers.
Concrete rings surrounding the towers collapsed earlier this year resulting in the structures being declared unsafe.
Demolitions experts have now drilled three-thousand holes into each of the towers, which will be filled with explosives.
The City says measures have been put in place to deal with the noise and dust that will be created when the towers finally drop at noon on the 22nd of August.
