OPINION: ‘Enticing visitors should be the priority’

Pastor Effanga obviously has no issues with drinking alcohol and partying in the ‘sacred ancestral burial ground’.

DEAR Editor,-

I see in last week’s issue of the Herald that the good Pastor Mike Effanga takes no responsibility for the reduced number of visitors to the South Coast this past holiday season: The previous December season saw hundreds of naturists, mainly from Gauteng, visiting the Mpenjati beach.

The naturist beach is once again deserted and a no-go area after numerous muggings, with even an honorary parks board ranger and his wife among those attacked on the beach!

This, despite almost non-stop, loud, thumping music, drinking and partying during December and January at the temporary nightclub set up in the car park. Pastor Effanga obviously has no issues with drinking alcohol and partying in the ‘sacred ancestral burial ground’. The ancestors must have been rocking in their graves or at least vibrating with the thumping drums because everything else was!

One can only imagine the effect on the animals and birds in the reserve.

Surely the good pastor should be trying to bring more visitors (money, jobs, food on the table) to the South Coast at the present time? Can he not, as some of his fellow charismatic church pastors do, simply prohibit impure thoughts by feeding sinners grass, spiders or petrol or even with a squirt of insecticide?
