THE controversial peripheral development zone for Kruger National Park has been approved, Water Affairs Minister Edna Molewa said
The development is aimed at creating a conservation corridor between the park and Mozambique's Greater Lebombo Conservancy.
Molewa said the corridor would strengthen attempts to curb rhino poaching through the establishment of a joint task force.
The approval of the development comes after sharp criticism from conservationists, who believe the park should not be commercialised.
In a written reply to a parliamentary question, Molewa said she had consulted key stakeholders in Mozambique and South Africa.

Who are these stakeholders and how well does she trust them. The minister should just leave conservation to conservationists.Report Abuse
