Well you never know in the south. I could have used this ranger 3 weeks ago on the Vurhami Bridge, to chase cars, not ellies, as there were way more than 40, cars that is not ellies

Ja , and so this story goes on.......what story... the story of ...
some officials (Sanparks)being good at their job and others not so good......... for different reasons,
......
but that's not the reason why I post this,
the reason be that I stumble upon the story on the other forum and after reading all the inputs I nearly choke on my sip of Rooibos tea ,
- I still cant understand why forum members(read yellow) must make excuses for Sanparks personnel or,
- why must forum(read yellow) members attack other members because they dare to asked questions or,
- and then in spirit of the moment tell everybody how to behave in the park and against wild animals and even how to name them(read animals).
yes ..two day's later there was some mod's doing some editing but, selective and the message of this" knight of the keybord" still stay...don't mess with Sanparks.
I was nearly part of this one sided debate ..but as one wise man once said (I think his name was some thing like B. Gates),...." think before you press submit.
"

ps. I think this did not qualified for a set of horns.....

There is not much more one can say, other than wondering if the disciplinary steps taken will ever be followed up or taken seriously.

It is just my experience that steps are announced, and nothing happens...sort of putting the dirt under the carpet, as far as National/local government is concerned, and I see no difference regarding SP misdemeanours over the last few years? Nobody has been fired besides those arrested...so the pattern of entitlement and superiority is embedded, in my opinion only!

A tourist is going to be killed at some stage, and these sort of "admissions of guilt" will come back to haunt SP...

The "disciplinary steps" are probably just taken to appease the tourists and keep us quiet!
