[PennyinSA]

Ye Gods and little fishes - forget rhino and training field guides - they now training artisans in Skukuza!

Does that mean some maintenance will get done....

Maybe I'm a bit daft, but to me it seems to be something positive.

[Flutterby]

If it means they can sort out the 'housekeeping' problems, then I agree with you Mel.

[iNdlovu]

I like it, well done San parks. Here is definitely a way of assisting the community without screwing up the Kruger environment.

[Mel]

That's what I thought as well, iNdy. Good to know I'm not the only one.

[Sprocky]

This is a great initiative, as long as SANParks will employ them once qualified. If this is the case, I take my hat off to SP for doing something very positive without negative effect on the park.

This forms part of the KNP’s broader strategy of community empowerment and Corporate Social Investment

Sorry for being negative, but this is not the function of a National Park.

More window-dressing and pandering to the department...not the community!

More strangers living/entering the Park on irrelevant missions, and more spin away from more pressing Park problems!

If they are compelled to stay in Kruger upon completion, that may be another matter...
