Why all the lies? Only those who have been fully informed of what is to be done will understand what exactly is going on in the wetland area. But all lips seem to be sealed and nobody knows why the project is being dealt with as if it is top secret.
A new street and a new name; and for the first time Tzaneen has a street named after an apartheid era activist. Griffits Mxenge Street is a new street crossing the small wetland in Aqua Park (across a new built low water bridge), linking Marits Street with the road running past the RC Church towards the back entrance of the Ivory Tusk Lodge next to the Mediclinic Tzaneen.

Griffiths Mxenge (27 February 1935 – 19 November 1981) was a SA anti-apartheid activist. Trained as a lawyer, he was assassinated by the security police in 1981, led by Dirk Coetzee in Umlazi township south of Durban. He was married to Victoria Mxenge, who was later also assassinated.
