Just perhaps this whole dilemma needs inclusion to the
Environmental Impact Assessment on a larger scale of
failed entrepreneurship, but then again Sanparks, old
faithful soul of sound custodianship, will always create
a better picture for those that wish to bestow confidence.

TEBA Pafuri Camp failed to foot the bill of so called public
responsibility!!! on behalf of authority!!!

Let's further apply this questionable practise, Sanparks
embarked on, and make it applicable to their "hotelling"
infrastructure envisaged for 2022,..

I am rather concerned at the heading of this topic per SE,..
Historic TEBA Pafuri Camp taken over by Sanparks,..

Since much development took place across the river, regarding
local shareholding/responsibility, a comment like this would be
misleading in the heated sense,...

It would be appreciated to have a broader sense of enlightenment
regarding a very localized issue!!

I take this matter very seriously on a broader perspective of
development in the greater context of Kruger!!!

Let's be more explicit and to the point, when addressing the
curator regarding responsibility and sustainability!!

Heading is fine, H.? That is exactly what happened, carefully plotted indeed, for personal and "political" reasons. I was there! :-)

The socio-economic benefits were secondary, or else the new camp would have been running by now, providing jobs to replace those lost! Not to mention the massive tourist revenue lost over 2 years or so... :evil:

Ok, fair enough, by way of action!!!

Can you tell me more about developments across the river
Luvuvhu,...the other side of a favorite picnic site we all wish
to visit, in tranquility,...


And in so speaking, it seems Sanparks, would have all open
avenues , unaddressed,....

I beg your pardon,....I am becoming more confused as the exploitation
continues,...it seems difficult to understand the mission
behind all this!!! It would be typical though, we are talking about
the original camp, "Pafuri" that used to be???

To my mind that was situated in the close vicinity of the picnic site!!

There was never a SP camp at Pafuri. 2 or 3 sprung up as private ones north of the river once the Makuleke concession was taken over by that tribe/community. nothing to do with this. Meanwhile, TEBA carried on quietly, taking in visitors just to maintain itself, and not bothering anyone! :-)
