Didn’t SANParks just increase the day visitor quota at all gates, thereby increasing traffic volumes and the park and ride facility was added for those who didn’t meet the day visitor quota.
This a very contradictory decision
But then again it was taken before
talking about the Malelane Hotel

I have heard that the scoping report has been approved by the DEA. Check out this link

Although it seems that I am not receiving all the mail I should,
have been informed by Dereck Millburn that the scoping report
submitted has been approved by the DEA.

The scoping report was completed and submitted last year already.
Official confirmation of approval of SP's PDZ implementation was integral to that, in that it will play a part in the EIA which can now commence regarding the Malelane Hotel!
This EIA is the big one, which was rejected last time round by the same minister...
