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 ...
