Wild Coast lovers take action, you can contribute if your passion for Pondoland resonates with this cause. By buying the calendar you can support coastal residents of Pondoland Wild Coast, in their ongoing development battles.Their mission is to protect and conserve their living landscapes and prevent the shredding of their social fabric by two massive development schemes.
They need support to gain access to information and effective legal representation in their planned court challenge, for government's failure to engage them in open and transparent decision making about the N2 Wild Coast 'Troll' Road, and the award of mining rights for the Xolobeni mineral sands. The 'developments' will benefit cash-rich outsiders and be paid for by cash-poor rural residents and the natural environment.
In an effort to raise funds so that they can object to the proposed Toll road they have produced a calendar which includes a DVD The Story Behind Too Great a Toll, this features the photos arranged to a soundtrack of an radio interview that was aired on Talk Radio 702, and music by Claire Johnston of Mango Groove.
