The continued silence of the Mukuni Trust in Livingstone over the fervent public support given by its patron, Chief Mukuni, to a full Legacy development in the Mosi oa Tunya NP is alarming. And why do we hear nothing from the trust's creator, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) ? The Park falls within the AWFs Kazangula Heartlands programme, but not a word from them, not even a reply from their HQ in Washington.
Mukuni and Legacy Holdings Zambia have been lobbying Government to have the full scheme given the green light. The Minister of the Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, Kabinga Pande, recently put out a statement saying that he would make a final decision on the Legacy scheme this week. One must surmise from this that the lobbying for the golfing estate in the Park has had some affect; and that the Environmental Council's decision could be overturned. Let us hope that sense will prevail.
