Flowta Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 I wonder if SANP will actually pitch for the court appearance?
Toby Adams Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Ya I think that's more the reason whyExactly, they are still sitting on their hands waitingI did not pay my R 2500 fine on 20July2015 and will be in court 10 on 07 August 2015 at 09h00 ready with a very good defence, lets see if TMNP has the balls to show up.I suggest we rather spend our money going to Cape Nature Reserves like Swartberg, Anysberg, Grootvadersbosch, DeHoop, Salmonsdam, Kogelberg, Marloth, Vrolikheid, Hottentots Holland, Jonkershoek, as they are all open to Cyclists
dirtypot Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 After the front page article, maybe they'll make more of an effort to pitch...

This was given out on open tender. Another company got the contract. Then, after the fire, she wanted access to Tokai to go check it out. The Tokai baboon monitors, Human Wildlife Solutions, meanwhile worked with SANParks, and had access all the time. When Trenthowan was denied access, because she had no business being there, she went anyway, knowing it was illegal. Bad form! Edited July 24, 2015 by DJR marko35s 1

Regardless, SANP can't be bothered to actually go to court There is a 2nd page to the article which I haven't read yet, I'll try get hold of it later.

Eddy Gordo Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 If Parks simply neglected to show up, then they deserve some stick because it is a waste of our tax money and court time! Yes, indeed as there are also more important cases of rape, abuse, murder etc that could rather have made use of that court. I think they should be heavily fined

Planned as a means to circumvent process, it has caused confusion, stress and lead to the experience you have endured. Do not expect it to happen before the EMP is signed off, eta December. marko35s and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2

porqui Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 This is going to create a problem as a precedent has been set. Tony did the prosecutor give a reason why the case has been dismissed?
