SANParks 2018 bookings delayed by strike
A resolution will be reached soon and all operations will be back to normal.
THE South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the holiday bookings for June and July 2018 will open on 1 August, as opposed to 25 July as it was originally planned. According to SANParks head of communications, Janine Raftopoulos, the change of date to 1 August is due to a possible protected strike by some members of staff.
“SANParks is still locked in talks with the union representing the majority of staff and a deadline has been set to agree on a settlement and in anticipation of any disagreements between the two parties – a change of date had to be considered,” Raftopoulos said.
