The tourism sector in Mpumalanga is counting costs after heavy rains forced several establishments to close.
Heavy rains in Mpumalanga started in December, claiming the lives of 20 people by January 15. The rains have taken toll on tourism establishments including the Kruger National Park, which had to evacuate guests and close for a week last week.
Oupa Pilane, chairperson of the Kruger Lowveld Chamber of Business and Tourism and co-founder of the Graskop Gorge Lift Co, has asked for assistance following the disaster from the tourism sector.
