Minister Maynier Declares New National Park In Eastern Cape
The Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, David Maynier, has declared 18 properties in the Eastern Cape, covering a total of 10 225.9242 hectares, as the Grasslands National Park. The declaration was published in Government Gazette No. 55531 under Government Notice No. 8002.
Situated in the Eastern Cape highlands between Nqanqarhu and Rhodes, the park will help protect underrepresented grassland ecosystems and part of the Eastern Cape Drakensberg Strategic Water Source Area. These landscapes are important for water security, biodiversity and the livelihoods supported by the region’s working agricultural land: shorturl.at/m5ABv

As elite athletes we try to maximise and optimise aid stations, but doing so we are bringing every year more crew and spending more resources on it. Is that fair?
Should we regulate to ensure fairness or leave it free? I wrote my thoughts 👉fjell.cc/the-aid-station-deb…

This isn’t sustainable. It’s madness.

Of the 60 available starts at 12 over first six rounds of the Prem, 37 made by EQPs. England obviously could have picked Tompkins. Some potential 12s have been injured (Hartley, Wimbush, Ojomoh) or have started at 13 (Dingwall, Kelly). Full piece: telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/…
