The R800 000 peanuts income from the proposed hotel the first year for SANParks, and almost less than peanuts in comparison with the total budget, was again discussed.

Interesting that they did not interview Sanparks, only Gerhard.

Ja...Gerhard also mentioned the other hotels at Orpen and Phalaborwa, and alluded to Shangoni and Punda Maria, I think!

It is good that it stays in the news at least a little! \O

The longer it stays the better. Obviously nothing clamorous was said, unfortunately :-(

Yes I did Lis....nothing exciting to add. It was said that one hotel would probably not be the end of the world, but that the worry lies in how this could open the floodgates for more hotels. As RP said - at Orpen, Phalaborwa and another 2 further north!
