Beauty of the Khayelitsha Wetlands Park
This particular spot at the Khayelitsha Wetlands Park is surrounded by well-kept lawns, seemingly perfect for picnics. A little way away I could make out the faint laughter of kids playing on the jungle gyms, but here it was quite and serene - a lovely place to sit in the cool sunshine.

River rocks
I can't find a specific reference on the SA government website(s) but it's pretty common knowledge that it's illegal to remove rocks from rivers flowing over state land. The reason is pretty simple - over time people would strip enough rock from rivers to negatively affect the ecology.

This said, I imagine that it's perfectly fine to remove rocks from rivers flowing through privately owned land (assuming that you're the land owner ;) ).
