Unesco declares a new world heritage site in SA

[Lisbeth]

The ‡Khomani Cultural Landscape is South Africa’s 9th World Heritage Site.



The ‡Khomani Cultural Landscape is South Africa’s 9th World Heritage Site. The site, which includes the entire South African section of the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, was officially launched by the minister of environmental affairs, Dr Edna Molewa, on 4 October. As part of the launch, SANParks released wildlife into Erin Game Ranch, a project of the ‡Khomani San community.

In honour of San leader Dawid Kruiper, SANParks intend to develop a rest camp within the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The camp will be situated between the Auob River and the community’s Heritage Park, and will provide for 10 new tourist accommodation units. It is expected that the rest camp will open in July 2019, with 50% of profit going to the ‡Khomani San

Has anybody heard about this new camp?

it seems Vanessa (Kriel) was busy with... but it seems too it was a bit expensive...

A nice gesture, this heritage site!

But a total dick move using their heritage as justification for a new camp.

It will not take long before KTP will see traffic jams like in Kruger with all the new chalets that they have built and now a whole new camp

and only 4 roads

[Lisbeth]

But they will be asphalted

[Richprins]

I'm sure they will build a bigger camp at some stage, as money is to be made? But how to fit it in, as it is pointless building roads in the desert? You Experten must say?

[nan]

asphalted... but still 4 roads

For that moment is water that restrain... to make more money
after the roads will be easy to built... even ten
