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 O**
and now the citizens are paying for it and for all the rest :evil: It is outrageous 0=

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 :yes:
