                                           OF THE BONTEBOK NATIONAL PARK

I, Barbara Dallas Creecy, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, hereby in terms of sections
             20(1)(a)(ii) and 20(6)(b), read with sections 31 and 33 of the National Environmental Management: Protected
             Areas Act, 2003 (Act No.57 of 2003), give notice of my intention to:

(a) declare the remaining extent of Erf 4492 Swellendam, situated in the Swellendam Municipality,
                    Swellendam Registration Division, Western Cape Province, measuring 2.2241 (two comma two two four
                    one) hectares, held by Deed of Transfer No. 184356/2006, as part of the Bontebok National Park, as
                    specified in the Schedule hereto; and
                (b) amend the definition and description of the Bontebok National Park in Schedule 2 of the National
                    Environmental Management: Protected Areas Act, 2003 (Act No.57 of 2003), as detailed in the Schedule
                    hereto.

South African National Parks (SANParks) acquired the property in 2006 for its inclusion in Bontebok National
             Park and has since managed the property as part of Bontebok National Park without it being formally declared as
             part of the National Park. The declaration will complement SANPark's drive to consolidate its protected areas
            network to become one economic unit.

            publication of this notice. Comments received after this date may be disregarded. Written representations or
            objections may be submitted to any of the following addresses:
