The 7474dash21 campaign is in place to raise funds for us (4u2fish Campaign) to raise funds for our legal action against the minister and the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority.
This is a very complicated affair, where access to and sales of natural renewable resources is at stake. The IWPA or iSimangaliso Wetland park Authority has iplimented policies and regulations that makes harvesting of natural renewable resources illegal. This is violating our economic rights in terms of section 24 (b)III
This is a huge problem as there are many different local communities who have been using these renewable natural resources as a abstantial portion of their personal income and living resources. With these natural renewable sources out of the picture, these folks are in real economic distress, and basically destitute
which way to move and how to take legal actions against the authorities and relevant government departments which are violating our economic rights in terns of section 24 (b) (iii) is quite a serious issue. finding a legal team who are willing to take on the negative feed back and associated public critisism from the GREENIES like those who ensured that the 4x4 Ban was successfully implemented is rather difficult. The reason here is the very high level, government assisted public perception management strategies which the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority (IWPA) have implemented over the years. this has caused a major misconception within the public debate spaces and associated news paper
Our best bet is to sue the Minister of Environmental Affairs for violation of our economic rights . We have started by requesting the public Protector to investigate these matters, and our file reference number with the Public Protector is 7474 / 21 / KZN
