Workers in government institutions should be held personally liable. That is the only way things will improve.
That will never happen!
I'm sure SANPARKS have insurance against these type of claims? But still , we will pay the price
The second incident this year of this kind in South Africa
We look like amateurs

The maintenance is one of SA's biggest problems. During the last 10/15 years the politicians and others have preferred to use the money otherwise
and now the citizens are paying for it and for all the rest

It is outrageous

Well one thing for sure - I'm not setting foot on any Kruger deck anytime soon
I will scream directions from the side line like a common blue - bull supporter

I have seen this at Skukuza and if my memory is correct, they started putting these signs up after the fence collapse issue there many years ago.

If a wooden bridge as the one at Mopani collapses I am sure that they are responsible, as it is lack of maintenance
