Infrastructure

The rains have nearly come to an end.  The road networks are being cut and maintained by GAWPT's plant machinery.  Some vehicles (we don't know who) drove over the black cotton road networks just as the rains started to come to an end.  They have done quite considerable damage to some of the key access roads, which will now need serious repair. Our guys are working on clearing and repairing the old colonial dam wall, built in the 1960s.  The pipeline that they installed then is still in very good working order.  We are digging trenches to bury more pipeline to stop the elephants from ripping it up if there is another extended dry season. The grader is now working on 'cleaning' the Rhino Sanctuary fence-line extension as the soil is now soft and no longer water logged.
