Project work and Frankie two socks Enterprizes

What is Project work, and how will this impact on Frankie Two Socks Enterprises.

Project work is an Info4u supported project aimed at getting folks within the Mtubatuba local municipality working within the hospitality and tourism industry of the Elephant Coast.

Info4u is one of the corner stones of Frankie Two Socks Enterprises, and focuses on supplying relevant information to the world through the info4u web site found at www.info4u.co.za

Mtuba4u is an organization which focuses on the online marketing of all businesses within the Mtubatuba local municipality with the prime focus on tourism associated with the passing trade  generated through the recreational use of the beaches along the Elephant Coast of KZN South Africa. this web site can be found at www.mtuba4u.co.za

Frankie Two Socks Enterprises is a collection of organizations, including Info4u, Mtuba4u and others,  which run a combined FUFISM based online marketing business. The primary focus at Frankie Two Socks Enterprises is to ensure that folks within the Mtubatuba municipality  get their fair share of the passing trade associated with the recreational use of the Elephant Coast beaches.

Frankie two socks enterprises is thus in place to ensure that there is reasonable public beach access to the beaches in and adjacent to the Mtubatuba Municipality. These beaches all fall within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage site, which places them squarely under the control of the IWPA or iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority, who are (at least in my opinion) not doing a very good job, and have successfully destroyed the local and domestic tourism market associated with the recreational use of our beaches, within the Elephant Coast.  Way back in 2004 a company called Acer Africa unertook some studies, on behalf of the IWPA in their efforts to understand tourism flow patterns within the Mtubatuba Local Municipality, and the Umkhanyakude District Municipality. read those here

These reports make for interesting reading with HIND SIGHT, as the economic losses predicted here have become reality.  These losses are very substantial, but no body is taking them seriously.  Not really sure why, but these huge losses seem to be irrelevant to councilors within the Mtubatuba Local Muncipality, who have not taken the efforts to address them.  In 2004 KZN TOURISM issues an occasional paper discussing these matters where they alledge that more than 20 000 folks lost their jobs within our region, due to the knock on impact of the 4X4 Ban.  which you can read here OCCASIONAL PAPER 20
