Maybe I'm a bit daft, but to me it seems to be something positive. :-?

If it means they can sort out the 'housekeeping' problems, then I agree with you Mel. ;-)

I like it, well done San parks. Here is definitely a way of assisting the community without screwing up the Kruger environment. \O \O

That's what I thought as well, iNdy. Good to know I'm not the only one. ;-)

This is a great initiative, as long as SANParks will employ them once qualified. If this is the case, I take my hat off to SP for doing something very positive without negative effect on the park. \O ^Q^ \O

This forms part of the KNP’s broader strategy of community empowerment and Corporate Social Investment

Sorry for being negative, but this is not the function of a National Park.

More window-dressing and pandering to the department...not the community!

More strangers living/entering the Park on irrelevant missions, and more spin away from more pressing Park problems!

If they are compelled to stay in Kruger upon completion, that may be another matter... ;-)
