The KZN Legislature’s Finance & Conservation Portfolio Committee began a series of oversight visits to KwaZulu-Natal Wildlife establishments on February . The programme is called ‘Focused Intervention Study’ (FIS).
“The committee is very unhappy about the state of these facilities, mainly the road infrastructure and accommodation,” said Hon Sipho KK Nkosi (chairperson of the Finance Portfolio Committee). Hon Nkosi further said that revenue collection and the high rate of vacancies are other areas of concern to the committee. These are some of the reasons for the FIS of the Portfolio Committee.
The committee plans to conduct an inspection of the following KZN Wildlife establishments: Midmar Nature Reserve, Thendele Project, Ithala Game Reserve, Hluhluwe-Mfolozi Park to Tembe Elephant, and Mlalazi Nature Reserve. “We want to make sure, as a committee, that the finances of government are properly used by all our entities. It is for that specific reason that this FIS is of utmost importance to us, as an agent of the State with a constitutional responsibility to oversee how monies of the government are utilized,” Hon Nkosi concluded.
