Public Participation Invite on 10 year Kruger Management Plan

[Richprins]

It turns out the Berg&Dal meeting of 11 May is not public participation as much as possibly about tenders and future opportunities, based upon private invitations!

But We will get the info after that, I'm sure.

Perhaps for what it may be worth here, current communication
among other fellow nature lovers,..

Hi all,

I have registered as well. From what I can understand a date stills
Needs to be decided for the ten year plan meeting. The Berg and Dal
Meet has to do with the 53 crazy tourism investment opportunities.
I stand to be corrected though. My goodness but I seem to get the idea
That .gov has now pulled all the stoppers in the hope of foreign investment
Just flowing into their coffers!!?? Fact remains, insofar that our front with
regard to safeguarding KNP and other national parks, has become a problem
on a far broader scale!!

I am still of the belief that the safety of these last few natural areas still lies far
Beyond our borders where a sense of sanity and reasonable thinking still prevails.

Take note, the 53 or 54 investment initiatives was/now undertaken by the dept.
Of tourism!!! Is .gov passing the buck again??

Thanks Fred

Make a long story short,> Kruger needs to be ripped from the
clutches of greed!!! Sanparks ideology needs to be subjected
to a full EIA(Invironmental Impact Assessment)!!

This to ascertain their ethics and approach toward
custodianship of heritage sites!!!
