South African National Parks (SANParks) welcomes the newly appointed Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Mr David Maynier following the national executive changes announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa. SANParks also expresses its sincere gratitude to the outgoing Minister, Mr Willie Aucamp, for his valuable guidance and support during his tenure.
SANParks looks forward to working under the leadership of Minister Maynier, who brings extensive senior governance experience to this important portfolio. His background will be highly valuable as SANParks continues implementing its strategy that is rooted in inclusive conservation and aims to build a healthy, sustainable, and climate‑resilient system of national parks that benefits all South Africans.
The SANParks Board and management assure Minister Maynier of their full support as we continue our work to manage and promote South Africa’s rich natural and cultural heritage.
