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

A nice gesture, this heritage site! \O

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

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? -O-
