The whole of Maputaland coastline is a formally, 'protected marine environment'. Much of the Area falls under the Greater St Lucia National Park which is supplemented by Provincial and Private Game Reserves. The beautiful Kosi Lake System in the far North offers wonderful walking, gentle canoeing and snorkelling. Marvel at the unusual fish traps, which date back hundreds of years. These are a way of exploiting marine resources that was once a common fishing method, in Historical times and possibly earlier, and is still used today by coastal communities.

Worker Culture: It’s Emergence, Gains and the Implications of Decline by Frank Meintjies

This paper was submitted to the 1973 Durban Strikes Celebrating 50 Years Conference
