Residents and out of Town'ers turning against each other.

The iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority must have a great chuckle as local residents in St. Lucia and concerned citizen's are turning against each other as slanderous remarks are thrown around in verbal abuse. Petrus Viviers, owner of three relevant domains, and local resident, Dan Scholtz, are having it out on facebook as a result of a Page created by an anonymous person, "St Lucia Quo Vadis", is having ago at The Isimangaliso management for degradation of this beautiful World Heritage Site.

iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority has in the past attempted to remove these domains from Petrus Viviers with no avail. A second attempt by The Elephant Coast Tourism Association was also thwarted and cost was not paid by this association. The bill is still pending at R4000.00 with Hann and Hann in Pretoria. Chairperson of this association undertook to settle all legal cost that was incurred by Mr. Viviers. Yet this tourism association has failed to do so. 

Mr Scholtz also accuses Mr Viviers of using facebook photo's belonging to the group
St Lucia Quo Vadis

"Dan Scholtz I also note that Petrus is using photos taken from the page "St Lucia Quo Vadis" and using it on his page. That does not seem ethical to me ---- considering Petrus was banned from that page. I agree Frik someone here should wake up and grow up!"

"Petrus Viviers@ Dan ... You be careful how you use the world you do not understand Sir ... it could easy lead to slander ... USE my dear friend is to take it away from the source or to reproduce."

Further Mr. Scholtz compared Mr. Viviers's mastering of the English language to be similar or as he put it.... "Dan Scholtz And please jack up your english spelling it is of grade 1 standard"

This would raise the question if mr Scholtz has the qualifications to make this statement and if so to who's standard is he grading Mr Viviers.

If there is any Grade one Teacher who wishes to Grade Mr. Viviers's English and spelling please do so. For this entry is made by Mr Viviers himself.

The fact is that iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority is working in such a way that the public feel not welcome nor included. Contradictions to the World Heritage Act and forced management decisions with out EIA's in the past put a question mark over the ability to manage this Wetlands System.

The SAGA continues ...

Main Entrace to iSimangaliso Wetlands Park - smelling up the place


Rob Blanshard: "These pics are what you don't see while driving past. It's on the corner of the road from the old station. Try viewing full screen to get the best effect. We live up that road so HAVE to go through it several times a day." 12 January 2011

This started months before and it is recurring .. Many People blame Mtubutuba Municipality and feel that their taxes should cover this shituation. Fact is that Municipalities are audited and the Auditor General prescribes the method and budgeting of this expenditure. For this reason Mtubatuba Municipality can not interfere with the mentor/custodian District Municipality, Umkhanyakude, in this case.



Umkhanyakude, named after the famous yellow-barked fever tree, literally meaning “seen from afar”, is the northernmost district in KwaZulu-Natal and contains many areas of outstanding natural beauty such as the St Lucia greater wetland park, Sodwana Bay and Kosi Bay. Game parks include Hluhluwe-Umfolozi, Ndumu and Tembe Elephant Park. It is one of the 11 districts of KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa. It is a very rural District, the largest town being Mtubatuba in the South, with Hluhluwe, Mkuze, Jozini, Kwangwanase and Ingwavuma further to the north.
It is described as one of the two most deprived districts in South Africa according to the District Health Barometer. “Deprivation” is defined as a combination of indictors including unemployment rates, access to piped water and electricity, female-headed households with high numbers of children and low education levels, according to the Health Systems Trust which produces the Barometer.. The seat of Umkhanyakude is Mkuze. The majority of its 573 353 people speak IsiZulu (2001 Census). The district code is DC27.


This is also the Municipality responsible for the severe water shortages that paralysis the Wetland Park Tourist communities on a regular basis. Poor planning and ridiculous water prices has many land owners up in arms. If they served a function it would be acceptable but many a meeting that was scheduled is merely canceled because the comity that organized it never showed up. Expensive venues and over priced catering wasted. 


 South Africa is divided into 52 districts (Metropolitan and District municipalities). The 12th amendment to the Constitution (December 2005) reduced this number from 53. Another effect of this amendment is that each district is now completely contained within a province, thus eliminating cross-border districts. The districts also cover the entire area of the continental republic. South Africa's districts are analogous to counties in Great Britain and the United States


This dysfunctional Love Child falls with in the governance of the Primier of kwaZulu Natal and his various office over see the workings with in this District Council.
