Thanks RP, some good ideas there. Haveno idea what one will be able to fit in, but we'll see.

Thanks!

Ok, Marisa is also a sharp lady, if all else fails! She will help, I'm sure: Marisa.Coetzee@sanparks.org

The general feedback from the meetings, except Cape Town where nobody pitched, was that SANParks are being remarkably more accommodating than in the past!

Kruger CEO has importantly suggested:

that he will soon be holding discussions with the premiers of Mpumalanga and Limpopo to discuss expectations of communities that government needs to meet.

“We can’t be the government’s service delivery arm,” said Phillips.

This is a massive recognition of our and many others' point that we have been trying to make for years!

We may have a new government in 2 years' time, so things are changing, and many officials and Parastatals heve to now start hedging their bets!

Their behaviour and tone are definitely different, which is a great progress! Lets see what will happen, when it comes down to facts.
