On Monday, Khorixas pensioner Leonard Hoaeb contacted Namibian Sun to complain about a social media post the newspaper published pertaining to Ultimate Safaris, the Doro-Nawas and Uibasen-Twyfelfontein conservancies and the #Aodanam Traditional Authority appearing in court to fight the projects. "Ultimate Safaris is making millions from this area but we, the community, are getting nothing. They have 28 employees, while the mine will employ 140 employees in the first phase. Why can’t they co-exist?” he wanted to know. "The rhinos have been here for generations and we, the people in this area, benefit nothing from them. Ultimate Safaris is hiding behind the rhinos to enrich themselves. Our people, especially those who were ferried to the court in Windhoek, are being used and it's sad that they don’t see it. What do they get from Ultimate Safaris? Rhino protection is just window dressing to keep our people poor. I’ve lived in this area for 40 years and I don’t know of any benefits that accrued from rhinos to our people." "The mine will transform the lives of our people, as long as the owners do things according to the permits issued to them. Ultimate Safaris must never block development that matters to us in order to protect its own narrow benefits," Hoaeb added.
