The frustrating thing is one doesn't know what happens behind the scenes, regarding deals and tenders!

Tenders are often advertised once deals have been done long ago, IMO.

Dear Sir / Madam

INVITATION TO COMMENT: NOTICE OF A BASIC ASSESSMENT AND WATER USE LICENCE APPLICATION FOR
THE PROPOSED SHANGONI GATE DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE KRUGER NATIONAL PARK.

South African National Parks (hereafter “SANParks”) is proposing the Shangoni Gate Development. This development will
consist of the Shangoni visitor„s entrance gate into the Kruger National Park (KNP), a reception facility; a new surfaced road
of approximately 50,6 km in length with a road reserve wider than 13,5 m and three high level bridges where the road will
span the Shingwedzi River twice and once over the Tshanga tributary. The development is coupled with a picnic site;
camping site and tented rest camp. The entire activity is collectively referred to as “the Shangoni Gate Development”.

In terms of the National Environmental Management Regulations 2014, under sections 24(5) and 44 of the National
Environmental Management Act, 1998 (Act No. 107 of 1998) the proposed development requires authorisation from the
Department of Environmental Affairs as the competent authority, as the proposed development triggers the activities and
thresholds listed in Government Notice R983 and R985 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations, 2014. The
aforesaid development is located within the Kruger National Park.
