The Bontebok National Park in South Africa is now open to the public after it suffered serious damage from flooding earlier this year. The floods affected many areas, including the park's accommodations and roads, with repair costs estimated at about R12.3 million. David Maynier, the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, visited the park to see the recovery efforts. He praised the park management for their quick actions during the flood, which helped to evacuate guests and protect some of the park's belongings. Currently, six chalets, a campsite, and three hiking trails have reopened. Work is still ongoing to fix the remaining chalets, two more hiking trails, and a picnic area. Minister Maynier encouraged people to visit the park, highlighting its beauty and the ongoing improvements being made.
