. Mining of the Wild Coast dunes
. The 'Greenfields' section of the N2 Toll road through PondolandHOW?
By buying this calendar, to support coastal residents of Pondoland's Wild Coast, in their ongoing development battles.
They want 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.
This is more than just a calendar.
It is a collaborative work of art that magnifies the spectacular natural beauty of the place and amplifies the heartfelt convictions of the people on how development decisions ought to be made in a democratic society.

I support Nonhle Mbuthuma, she has a backbone for someone her age, keep it up and fight for whats right regardless of who is against it. Most of the community members cannot see through Mazizi Msutu and his associates, who are willing to dig graves to feed their pockets, it seems bribery is the foundation for projects that lend in this company, as for Qunya i think he is being used and if he realy received a 4×4, he must try and put the price on it again as its not worth the loss that will be caused to the community of Xolobeni. PEOPLE FIRST.
