This is the ultimate example of comercialisation then, and was never public knowledge before tenders awarded etc.! :evil:

An SP structure built with common visitors' public money over the years to enable free and great viewing for all passing tourists now being shamelessly exploited for financial gain by a Private Company with the blessing of our custodians?

It is past a joke.

Tht's just about how matters are,....

Total exploitation no matter what!!!!,...
the monetary value will be noticed long before
the physical purpose of it, for whatever that may
be,...

In other words, a long story short,..!!,.....
There is no purpose out there in this hatefull
life, yet I am bourne to fill my backpocket for
a purpose and not neccessarily to share!!!

Everyone seems on the bandwagon,....the
OSCAP conference proved that!!!

We have a problem, believe you me!!!,.......

By example, take the ex CEO and all his demeanours
regarding Mal Mala, oh my goodness where will this
all end,...

Frustrated are you??,.. then rip a Swazi Lily from it's
roots and chew it, for you will become enlightened,..

Sanparks!!!! if finance and monetary value means so
much to you, then simply lift the gate fees and restrict
the crap from entering!!!

Lessen your public burdon so to speak and become more
purposeful as a entity,...


Heh,.. H.e

It was said somewhere back the new umbrella company would replace SP shortcomings and provide better service. Fair enough. But it was also said they would not be in it were it not for a profit, and are highly professional and experienced, if not ruthless, obviously, so here we go. Not enough homework, and feeble SP now cowing down.

Not good enough!

Maybe the fast food outlets should manage all customer relations/commercial ventures in the park and leave SANParks to the basics of conservation! ;-)

visitors!!!!!

Privatising all customer relations/commercial ventures is more or less in the long-term pipeline, I think, Sprocks, and I get your innuendo!

The thing is, this comercialiasition could backfire catastrophically, with safari ventures/destinations who are just as savvy, picking up the disgruntled "heavy" tourists, ie foreigners/yearly guesthouse bookers etc.

It may take a long while, and SP may or may not realise or cynically do approve of it, but the actual low end bulk of the market will disappear as costs rise and economy worsens.

SANParks have to take responsibility somewhere, and the best place would be in their core function...CONSERVATION!!!

Leave the rest to people that know what they are doing! Oops, that could be a problem with their core function as well??? 0*\
