So we want you to experience all that and be able to watch animals. CIARAN RYAN: I bet, Dumisani, we are going to have to leave it there but it was fascinating to have you in the studio and please come back again and give us an update in a few months’ time, maybe when you have wrapped up your financial year. So you need to book months in advance if you want to go there? DUMISANI DLAMINI: Yes, that’s where you go. We are working for clean, it’s a very complex environment and it requires all of us to eventually be clean. CIARAN RYAN: Why is that? How do you distinguish it, it’s very easy, I was in Boulders recently, one of our national parks past Table Mountain, all the way up, to go and see penguins, there’s a penguin colony there and they asked me for my ID because they then associate the price of your entry to the park with your nationality. Final question, are you a family man, do you have children? So it’s doubled, is that because of an increase in tourism numbers or is it a combination of that and the reduction in infrastructure spend? They will risk leopard, they will risk lions, they will risk hippos to make sure that they get that horn. DUMISANI DLAMINI: It’s possible but you must remember, the Northern Cape is not good on accommodation, so you have to do your research well, check the distance to the park so that you can manage your itinerary properly. There are those who want to be peaceful in the park, who don’t want to watch TV and don’t want any disturbance, but you’ve also got some who like the bush life but also want a taste of modern in it. It’s one of the most amazing parks that you can experience but be careful, you must book early because it’s going to be full. DUMISANI DLAMINI: If you look at how other national parks internationally function, they are mostly funded by government, you can have a look at the USA, Canada and so on. I am glad you asked that question, I am married to a wonderful wife, Zama Dlamini, she’s a very passionate woman who gives me ‘butterflies’ all the time. So the other conservation land will fall under provincial, as well as local, municipalities, and that’s why we are National Parks. It’s criminal syndicates, it’s organised crime because you have a value chain, you’ve got a guy who is sitting in either China, Vietnam or whatever the country might be, where they order the horn, then you have got people in South Africa who organise [the poaching], all the way to a person who carries a gun and a person who cuts the horn, and a person who carries the water and the food. Actor Dumisani Dlamini is a very proud father. "Beautiful girl (who goes by) the name Doja Cat, she's singing with Nicki Minaj. If you look at the UK, I think it’s a country of about 65 million, they’re getting almost 100% per year of visitors in terms of their national population. Doja revealed that she was not holding any grudges against Dlamini whom she never met. We are a national asset to South Africa, we look after more than four million hectares of conservation land, which forms about 67% of the land. His firstborn child is named as Kwazi. He intended on bringing his family back at a later date but things didn’t work out as planned. You still get 20%, even though you’re making a profit, you still get 20% of your funding from the state but you don’t really need it or am I missing something? You will find, for example, if there’s a decrease of about 10% of tourism numbers across the tourism industry, you’ll find in the national parks there’s only a decrease of about 2% or 3%. DUMISANI DLAMINI: We are still establishing that unit, I am currently in the process of appointing five regional supply chain managers, and I have the head office team, so there are about 13 people who I currently have there. I won’t break it down for you how expensive it is just to maintain one helicopter and to comply with all the civil aviation rules and regulations, that’s one element, I’m not talking about fuel and the other associated costs that goes with that. Dumisani told TshisaLIVE in an exclusive interview that after the Sarafina! There was a question that I wanted to ask you about Kruger, do we still get poaching of rhinos there. Obviously, international tourists will produce their passport and that’s how they will know how to charge them. DUMISANI DLAMINI: To the point where we are beefing up our maintenance team. CIARAN RYAN: Right, so the maintenance and keeping the roads open is a 24/7 thing, you’ve got to be at it every day. CIARAN RYAN: Who is behind this? A. C. A. T, she's one of the best singers now in America. Remember, we are now being affected by climate change and you would have seen a couple of weeks ago that there were floods in Kruger and when those floods happen there’s infrastructure that gets affected by those heavy rains because it’s more than the rain that we require. Correct, so it’s a huge number of people coming to our park, we want more. I have got two kids, one is ten, Zoe, the other one is three, Nkanyezi, which means stars. If you know how much a helicopter costs, it can be over R100 million for just the two helicopters. We’ve got service providers that we have appointed that come with grader machines. DUMISANI DLAMINI: You need to book in advance and just to give you a sense of the bookings, some of the accommodation can be booked two years in advance. You won’t believe it but two of the helicopters that we have were actually donated by someone. She is willing to meet up with him. South African actor Dumisani Dlamini has hit back at his daughter's claim that she has never met him, claiming that he had been trying to get in touch with her for years. One of them is American singer Doja Cat. Let’s kick-off with what exactly is South African National Parks, what is in that portfolio? Thank you very much, it would be great, there are lots of things that we are doing in that space of protected areas, we are working with the Accounting Standards Board and we’re doing fantastic things, so it would be great to share more. So one of the things we are looking at is those skills, the retention of those people and paying them better, but we’re also looking at appointing service providers to complement that team so that we make sure that our maintenance is [done]. He’s an incredible dancer and a great actor but I don’t know him very well.”. Drum is a 2004 film based on the life of South African investigative journalist Henry Nxumalo, who worked for Drum magazine, called "the first black lifestyle magazine in Africa". How do you determine when somebody goes into the park, they introduce that, the differential between the local and the foreign, and it created some disturbance for a period of time but is this common, is this how it’s done internationally? Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer is well recognized as an American painter and artist. I know I have a light wherever I go, so I don't need to try (too hard) to shine. The reason why we are doing that is because we want to give access to local people who haven’t experienced national parks, so that’s the reason. We had strong cash resources at the end of the financial year with R1.8 billion. But yeah I’d be down to meet him.”. You mustn’t forget these Americans. Then I have a GM responsible for Kruger finance and I have regional finance managers responsible for different camps in the Kruger National Park. DUMISANI DLAMINI: We are working for clean, it’s a very complex environment and it requires all of us to eventually be clean. So from Johannesburg how long does it take to get there? Doja Cat's birth name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, who is an American singer, rapper, and songwriter. I love them and they love me.". CIARAN RYAN: Yes, okay, and what other ones? DUMISANI DLAMINI: The 20% will be what the government has actually given, which is a basic grant, including an infrastructure grant, which we mainly use to upgrade our infrastructure. It’s possible but you must remember, the Northern Cape is not good on accommodation, so you have to do your research well, check the distance to the park so that you can manage your itinerary properly. DUMISANI DLAMINI: A huge fleet, I can count it with both hands in terms of the aircraft that we have. 67% of the land in South Africa is national park? Now, at this time when she is there and on top, she has to grab the whole world’s attention, especially in SA because she is a South African and her daddy is here. CIARAN RYAN: Now, of course, they have Germany there, they have Spain, cross-border traffic, but we have that too with Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and so on. DUMISANI DLAMINI: I must get those numbers for you; I believe that it’s over one million. DUMISANI DLAMINI: Correct, so it’s a huge number of people coming to our park, we want more. How many people are there in your team? Just to finish off about the other parks, you can go to Addo Elephant Park, which is in Port Elizabeth, it boasts the most amazing giant animals, the elephants, as well as the other members of the Big 5. But what’s funny is I never met him. And, during our interview, Dumisani showed us that the apple didn't fall far from the tree, when he dropped some hot bars. While the two have never met physically, Doja shared in a 2019 interview with The Quick Silva Show that while they don’t know each other, he seems to be supportive of her music career. She is also known as the mother … DUMISANI DLAMINI: We have 19 functional parks in total and in that we have got a number of beautiful parks and each park offers a unique experience. CIARAN RYAN: What is your infrastructure budget per year if you go across all of the 19 parks? It’s a beautiful place for camping and to spend time with the family. Who is behind this? To take you through some of the flagship parks, and people might not know SANParks but they definitely know Kruger National Park because everyone who comes to South Africa doesn’t want to leave without visiting the Kruger National Park, it is one of our biggest parks, it covers over two million hectares of land, as you have indicated, the size of Belgium. He said Doja’s management had blocked all his efforts to reach out to her. Just in this past financial year we had a turnover of over R3 billion. Our maintenance is like our fulltime job. So you can be in Mopani, which is the northern part of the park, you can go to Punda Maria, you can go to Lower Sabie, you can go to Skukuza, so we have many offerings. So one of the things we are looking at is those skills, the retention of those people and paying them better, but we’re also looking at appointing service providers to complement that team so that we make sure that our maintenance is [done]. Just to finish off about the other parks, you can go to Addo Elephant Park, which is in Port Elizabeth, it boasts the most amazing giant animals, the elephants, as well as the other members of the Big 5. It has beautiful and unique animals, it has amazing lions that are a little bit different to the lions that you’ll find in other parks. DUMISANI DLAMINI: Absolutely and I will give you two examples, in KZN we have Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, which is a provincial park, also in the Western Cape we’ve got CapeNature. DUMISANI DLAMINI: I think it’s a commitment from the state towards maintaining the national asset. If you look in terms of turnover, it’s a medium-size almost JSE-listed company because if you turnover that kind of money.
