new blog title

We have a new blog name for Amatikulu

 

 

The blog title has changed to AMATIKULU NEWS as from 8 January. The old title is no longer appropriate in the light of the fact that the Amatikulu HO group has been temporarily shut down. A new Amatikulu group will be set up shortly, and it will include the current body of interested parties as the founding group.

 

In the interim the current probationary HO's will operate through the harold Johnson HO group under the leadership of Anne Bindoff.

 

The current group will continue to work in Amatikulu reserve as their first point of interest and also in other areas as directed by the Harold Johnson program.

 

The current group will operate together with Trueman Buthelezi who is now responsible for Amatikulu, in his capacity as Conservation Manager of Siyaya Coastal Park.

Meeting with Trueman Buthelezi

On 6 December Rick Priscilla and I met with Trueman Buthelezi, the new officer in Charge of Amatikulu Nature Reserve. Trueman will not be resident at Amatikulu - he will remain at Umlalazi where he manages that reserve. His responsibilities now emcompass both reserves, and he will manage Amatikulu through an officer stationed there.
Trueman was busy with a program on the river at the time and we resolved to meet after the holiday reason to establish priorities for Amatikulu.
