Does anyone know what is happening at nkulu picnic spot.shop is shut down and lots of building going on

Hmmmm...... by the shape of those structures , it looks like they intend to put up a whole lot of fruit stalls , or take-away stalls or something . Something like an ongoing Saturday morning market, including weekdays , in the offing there

Just in time for the Christmas rush ..........

I'm sure the development has been well-announced and acclaimed via all the relevant channels as a great step forward?

Ok, found out what it is...a solar farm! One is already up and running at Tshokwane, so sharp, better than the big generators currently running. Tshokwane also wants a birding camp, so quieter for tourists...

.a solar farm

Ok ya well no fine, but??? why would one wish
to generate that kind of electricity output, in
the middle of nowhere and for what purpose??

[Richprins]

I think it is quite expensive in the short term still, H., but better solar than diesel. It is quieter for overnight guests, and can run aircons if it is this size? The Tshokwane one needs to run the ranger station too, presumably.

So ja, a prelude to the camp starting, maybe!

Once again RP, these operations take place on
already disturbed ground!! Keeping within the
boundaries will not require any impact studies.

Fact is once again this venture not incorporated
in the bigger picture of cumulative impacts!!

Traffic studies in the southern part still remain
a very questionable practice!!

[okie]

It is surrounded by tall trees which affects solar very negatively

[Richprins]

Ja, well there we are. I'm just worried they are blowing money at pace now before 2019 with all the new developments...

.gov doesn't really have money!
