It is all part of the plans for the next five years, but see it all together is terrible and when I imagine it all done it not only makes me :-( but also very 0=

They have presented it all together though. Maybe they count on us forgetting it -O-

The impact of every single development might be not really huge, but altogether it is significant.

Remember: There will be a backpacker lodge plus tented camp plus camp site.

And then there is the plan for the Letaba concession, too

They have to present it, Lis, and have to allow public participation as per the law. But there is no fanfare nor public announcement, ever, which is strange if it is such a wonderful thing? O**

The public announcements only come after the projects have begun. :O^

No one said that they are stupid :twisted:

They know very well that most of the people going to the Park frequently and following the developments are very unhappy with the road that Sanparks has decided to take :evil:

Question 43 Who will be managing the Phalaborwa Activity Hub and when will it be
operational? (LC and PSL).

Answer 43 There will be different Operators managing the various activities –
SANParks is managing the construction thereof. It won’t be constructed
before the sewerage issues at Phalaborwa are resolved. If all goes well,
operation is planned within the next 2 years.

I sometimes think SANParks throws 40 projects at the public while only really intending to complete one or two! lol

Well, I think almost all of the projects are completed, some have just long delay.

Shangoni development was proposed in 1995 and "stopped" 1999, went dormant and came up again, I think 2012.

And I am not convinced that the Malelane lodge will not arise again from the ashes.


Just a matter of time where public funding is involved.
