Aerial boardwalk closure on hold

THE Dlinza Forest Aerial Boardwalk closure is on hold, depending on a final decision by uMlalazi Municiaplity to bail the facility out of its financial woes.

At a public meeting, called by the uMlalazi mayor, Cllr TB Zulu, he undertook to put forward a motion offering the management of the Boardwalk a two-year life-line.

Although an amount was discussed, this and the final approval of the grant will only be approved at a full council meeting on Tuesday, 24 June.

Mayor Zulu said the two-year period must be used by the management to find ways of making the facility self-sustainable.

He said the management cannot rely, or expect, the municipality to continue bailing out the Boardwalk when in difficulties.
