If you have been on tour with us you will know that we support many local community projects in the Kob Inn area.
Some of you have been with us on our handover visits to Step by Step Day Care Centre.
Please read the below Post and check out the BackAbuddy link.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

💛 URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED 💛

On 26 March, one of the little ones from our registered NPO (PBO) creche in rural Transkei, "Step by Step Day Care Centre," broke his femur while playing.

He’s just 3,5 years old, and is now bedridden in traction for 4 weeks at Frere Hospital. His mom rushed with him to East London, with nothing but the clothes on her back. She’s been at his bedside since and will stay there for the next 4 weeks.

We’re rallying to support this brave little boy and his mother with essentials during this time, and also assist their creche community, including our cook, who was also just admitted to Frere and diagnosed with cancer this week.

HOGSBACK - This is an important story.

During the first day of our Katberg Tour, we started in Hogsback and drove the Wolf River Pass (a public road) down to the Sindile Dam returning via a loop road eventually rejoining the Wolf River Pass, where we stopped just off the main road to enjoy our lunch along one of the side tracks. We were 40m off the main road.

Before long, a security guard in a bakkie stopped and told us we were trespassing. He had been watching us for quite some time as we drove up the pass. We explained there were no signs indicating the track as private property, but we would none the less move on in a few minutes.

The security guard left, but contacted his superior via radio at Hogsback Forestry (Rance Timbers). Suitably attired in company kit and driving a Land Cruiser LDV, he intercepted our convoy from the front.

He quickly realised we were just a harmless group of tourists wanting to enjoy the area and toned his rhetoric down with each minute that passed.

He explained the fires of 2024 and also about a female hiker that had wandered off the trail and a huge blue gum tree that was being felled landed on her, killing her.

The company were being sued for R6m in an ongoing legal battle. We have not been able verify that story as yet.

To cut a long story short and having spoken to other tourism people around the village, it seems all is not well up there in the mountains. Rance Timbers (a private company whose business is growing trees) appear to be fully against tourism.

They are not maintaining footpaths to the waterfalls or hiking trails and are actively discouraging tourism in the area (as was evidenced with our encounter with them, which bordered on harassment.)

I think if we were one or two vehicles, it would have been more aggressive. After a few minutes of logic and reasoning, I managed to connect with him regarding the importance of tourism and the need for forestry and tourism to hold hands for the common good of the area and its citizens.

After initially refusing us permission to visit the Robinson Falls, he eased off a bit and said we could go and visit the falls without a permit, which we duly did. It was only 1 km off the main road.

I mentioned to him that it was unreasonable to expect visitors to comply if there were no notices or signs erected. He agreed. On parting, he had lost the initial confrontational attitude and suggested we send an email to his boss, which we are busy compiling.

All over SA forestry and tourism work hand in hand, so why not at Hogsback, where forestry and tourism are the two biggest employers?

This attitude is unhealthy. Come on Rance Timbers, you guys can do a lot better than this.
