Not sure about your meet but this was queried at our meet!!

The facts and figures seem vastly differing from your input:-

(Or 100m and 50m, I forget...)
Just another questionable situation, fitting!!

Seems indeed they do Lis!! I queried the standards of traffic impact
assessments, iro Skukuza lodge and spelled to him the minutes taken
and stats,to which he agreed!! Yet when I mentioned that B. Schrader
mentioned, Shangoni, these figures are mere wishful situations, a mere
fragment of imagination, Mr. Phillips was quick to mention that gate
quotas are regarded the norm of traffic impact!!!

You may further think for self and make assumptions!!!
Shangoni never even bothered, the EIP's,..a traffic assessment

Yet dear maram Edna doing backflips redesigning the the approval,
by way of amending the act, that in granting the applicant more time
so as to find funding that will suit!! A thorough traffic assessment, rule
18,...whatever!!

It boggles my mind that Sanparks will lower self esteem to such levels,
where misunderstanding will become a general rule of acceptance, in
decision making!!

We are biased against all the commercialization that Sanparks is putting in place. Others might like it.

Lis , I'm not quite sure about your vocabulary in use,
nonetheless get your drift!! Indeed there would be plenty
others that agree with the exploitation, only because it would
be in self interest only!!! Sanparks becoming the vehicle of
good fortune!!! I recognize many of suchlike at these meets!!

Society need to stop forcing Sanparks to be the magnet too
success, also Sanparks must stop making selves available for
political endeavor!!! After all they are mere curators, supposedly!!

:shock:
That's the kind of thing that you built in a suburb of a town. Well, I suppose that Skukuza by now can be considered almost a town O/ They are well ahead! When the minister attended the sod-turning ceremony, they had already started a while ago O** viewtopic.php?p=400153#p400153
