The South African Government today announced that the Wild Coast Toll road wll go ahead.
TRALSO is not opposed to the construction of the toll road, but would like to see Government do thorough consultation with the affected communities and respond to the issues that have been raised by the affected parties.
The accompanying picture is taken at Mtentu, part of the environmentally sensistive Amadiba region, currently under threat from mining initiative that have exposed deep ruptures in local communities. The road - which will give access to the region - will involve cutting through the Pondoland Centre of Endemism, exposing communities to new realities such as highly restricted crossing points, and construction of large-scale bridges spanning wide ravines.
