dangerous to be a normal man in abnormal times SANParks Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 @SAgovnews Nooo! Damn it. We have most of the Nothern Cape to use we need a new national park

son of baldwin 🌹 dangerous to be a normal man in abnormal times SANParks Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 @SAgovnews We don’t need a new national park. 😂Truth is we also have a problem of the overpopulation of elephants but most parks in the country have implemented measures to prevent this overpopulation (something some of them should’ve started a while ago).

son of baldwin 🌹 dangerous to be a normal man in abnormal times SANParks Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 @SAgovnews We have enough protected areas, the cost is too huge for our people. Rural populations.

Siphesihle Mbhele 🇨🇩🇵🇸 dangerous to be a normal man in abnormal times SANParks Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 @SAgovnews This reminds me of the fight about mining on the Wild Coast. It would not only destroy rural communities but also degrade the environment and shrink available land for wildlife too.

son of baldwin 🌹 dangerous to be a normal man in abnormal times SANParks Minister of Environment, Forestry & Fisheries 🇿🇦 @SAgovnews Precisely, and destroying rural communities in this context refers to destroying their livelihoods “which are usually nature based”; in a poverty dense setting.
