Hecktic Traffic

As two lanes become one people are backed up and the right hand pushing back in front of the patient left hand lane.

Not all rivers flowing

Some streams are a mere trickle after the heavy rain experienced in some parts of Zululand over the last couple of months.

Whats up in Zululand ... False Bay

False Bay Park, iSimangaliso Wetlands Park South Africa, the part of the eco system where all the fossils are located. Evidance that this area was ocean right trough the Triasic Period until about 25000 years ago.

When for some reason sandbanks started forming and pearching birds populated the beach areas with trees, shrubs and grasslands. As the wind blew sand up against driftwood thus forming wind blown sand dunes.

For the trained eye the place is strewn with fossils of aquatic life. For the novice the dry thorny veldt of the Western Shores offers a wide variety of birds, mamal and insects seldom seen else where. This alone makes a visit to this eco system, one of five interlocking eco system, worth while.

The all elusive Wetlands Elephants is most often seen in this part of the 256000 hectare Game Reserve. This also close to Emdoneni Rehabilitation Center, Duma Zulu and Ilala Weavers em route to Soldwana Bay where some of the worlds best diving can be experienced.

Atractions and anemities in Zululand

The current Government has structured the management to function on grassroot level. District Municipalities should benifit from this, but like all other departments jumping on the gravy train can overload the local Economy.

The other problem is not expanding the income base to such an extend that all monies that can be earned are earned through the Tax base. It is important for such management to seek avenues to increase the income potential of their tax base.

In the case of small towns like St Lucia tourism is a big source of income and this includes domestic tourist. In this case South Africans. The main atraction to St Lucia Estuary over the years was fishing.

This included Rock and Surf, Estuary and Deep See fishing. With World Heritage status many people jumped on the environmental band wagon and many dissisions was taken surrounding the myths about being green.

One of the bad dissisions was to bring in eco tourist. Eco Tourism is not all that productive and certainly not environmental friendly. People reading this will think the author is crazy, but any one who care to calculate the carboon footprint of a domestic tourist vs a eco tourist will learn the true facts.

For this reason it is not understood why so many roads and Hotels are planned and built in a World Heritage Site while dune mining on its borders are allowed. Why low impact tourism like beach driving is not allowed and why the channel and drain system between the iMfolozi River and St Lucia is not maintained.

It seems a case of bullshit baffels brains . ... ...

St Lucia Estuary is in the worst case of health ever. Water supply, fresh and sealine, should be managed. recreational beach use does not impact on the environment the same as beach resort development. ...

Turtle nests cannot be damaged by a recreational vehicle driving over it but the nesting behaviour of these turtles are influanced by the ambient light of a resort development. ...

Hard surface development are fore ever ... Recreational use has an impact of between 0 and 5 percent ...

False Bay Park ... The heart beat of a Wetlands

The Northern most section of the World Heritage Site, Lister Point, is ridled with fossils, Elephants, Hippo and other wildlife. Sadly human inetrvention has cripled the funcionality of these fragile eco systems.

Closure of the Estuary Mouth and drainage channels of the iMfolozi River has stopped tidal movement between the Indian Ocean and the Lake System.

The smell of a decomposing molusc spoils the experience of a day visit to this famous and pristine Heritage Site.

Whats up in Zululand ... Endoneni Lodge

Eye level with one of Sub Saharas most endangered animals. Endoneni Animal Care and Rehab Center is situatad due North of Durban right next to the N2.

There is many reasons why one would like to spend some time at this macnificent lodge. Its proximity to Hluhluwe Game Reserve, St Lucia Wetlands Park and Duma Zulu, but the main atraction is the interaction of the Tourguide, the people and the cats.

What a unique experience.

Great News for Water Tables in Zululand

We all know that sunny St. Lucia is why people visit the Wetlands, but the area had to much sun and to little rain for far too long. Well this is about to change and hopefully the clouds will bring some rain this coming week.  Sunday started with some light rain just wetting the dust and by Wednesday some more rain is expected, but the reel relief to the drought might only arrive by Friday the 10th.

 

For that reason Fishing should be great around Tuesday and Wednesday and even Thursday. By Saturday we hope that all the rivers flowing into the ocean to be flowing thus bringing some muddy conditions to the coastal regions. Although we all hope for great rain this week it could be that the drought will reduce the clouds to a mere drizzle and that the total downfall would not amount to more than an inch.

 

This is a real concern since the Zululand summer down pour should be starting by now and evening showers are expected to be in the access of 20 - 30mm.

Drought stricken Zululand Rural

With rainfall at an all time low domestic animals has very little to eat. With no municipal services rural Zululand are totaly self sufficient.
