iMfolozi River Spring 2015

We are well into spring and yet summer rain is eluding us now for the second year in a row. Three years ago the river was in flood from bank to bank making it a bitter sweet sight.

Sweeping the suffocating mud down stream that cemented the demise of St Lucia Estuary as a life giving entity. Cementing the Estuary Mouth Shut. Cementing in the invasion of indigenous Ohlango Reeds.

Very few people understand the vital importance of a functioning Estuary and the current iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority ranks amongst those who have very little urgency to this matter.

Government is on track to proof all wrongs is based on the Atrocities of Apartheid and lost a grip on reality while they find new ways to enrich the rich and enslave the poor.

This drought could have been used to fight soil erosion. Such a project not only improves the condition of our Heritage, but is a great Job Creation and skills development opportunity, It is so sad that our leaders are so blind to the importance of basic conservation issues.
