I hope most know what no1 and his cronies have in plan for the Transkei, aside from offshore drilling and selling offshore stocks under the table to china. They have been planning open cast mining of titanium from the coastal dunes for years. This culminated in the former khoza king marching to parliament 2 years or so ago and threatening civil war. He has been removed from office, for various reasons, and the australian consortium on behalf of the chinese are pushing to get at the minerals once and for all. This will be an absolute disaster for the locals, who will loose their land, homes, gardens, graves etc.. and will be an absolute crime to the fish stocks. Just read up about the aussie mining and its current negative effects on the Great Barrier Reef to give you an idea.
This is the kind of thing that they have planned for the transkei. Please help preserve this piece of coastline for future generations and prevent the corrupt pillicks in charge from destroying it now for their own benefit.
