NicoBoshoff Posted January 20, 2016 Share Local authorities confirmed arson. They were busy cutting new firebreaks when they saw individual start fire further down in alien vegetation and fynbos. I give up. How do you negotiate with a force that's only aim is to destroy? Jaco Odendaal and Dan Dob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droenn Posted January 20, 2016 Share Also hearing this was arson. The Klapmutskop fire last weekend was kids playing around, which is pretty much arson too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mntboy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Also hearing this was arson. The Klapmutskop fire last weekend was kids playing around, which is pretty much arson too...Or a case of negligent parenting, which is worse imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Deon) Posted January 22, 2016 Share Words won't do my thought justice. I'll continue to just gaze at the selfish actions people are capable of. This is really screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawystertrance Posted January 25, 2016 Share Drove to Muratie and Delheim yesterday to take a looksee. If you're the sentimental type, don't go. It's tragic to see what it looks like. Lots of it was still smoldering yesterday and there were even some parts till on fire. I sort of get the impression that it may still be salvable with a lot of work but I wonder if the will exists to do it? After all, building trails doesn't come cheap and the owners have lots of other expenses to consider now.Only had my GoPro with me and will post what shots I think are worthwhile. Here's one..the remains of one of the trails overlooking the car park Edited January 25, 2016 by sawystertrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
