It was within the Kingdom of Bahrain on Monday 2 July 2018, a year the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officially promulgated its recognition of the (Barberton) Makhonjwa Mountains, within Mpumalanga, South Africa as a world heritage site. The Makhonjwa Mountain positions as worlds only oldest mountain greenstone belt range which consists of archeological rock formations estimated to be worth 3.6 billion years old in age forms-believed of being world’s oldest. Interesting and intriguing are suggestable facts that of the mountains genetic geology evidence: comprising of volcanic nutrients which provides bacteria fossils, mineral and sedimentary content. The Makhonjwa mountain has paved path for various mineral content to develop: greenstone, gold and asbestos stone/ rock predominantly. More so interestingly, a sudden era of new rock family “specie”. Red stones have now erupted and presented themselves in evolutionary rock timeline within from the Makhonjwa mountain. These come in certain types, weights, color, content and structure. Influenced and encouraged off by the auspices of the national governments Department of Tourism and of provincial Department of Economic Development and Tourism par Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) sub Mpumalanga Provincial Government, the project cycle period exercises; from the local decision-making until enforcement to reaching present finalization determination within global sphere was one notable to learn.

Todate gold mining, forestry and ranching economic activities are performed and encouraged in high growth and development. In acknowledgement of such natural diversity and prosperity Barberton Tourism: local tourism organization which ensures conservation practices are maintained and upheld, have taken the role to steer sustainability exercises to bestow and maintain such heritage. Marketing the heritage at the Tourism Indaba in Durban, KZN was another action plan due done yet also equipping the general local public citizens information about this significance where easily reachable(media platforms[Barberton Times newspaper]) was another lauded approach undertaken.

Thus attempt of a community commune and integrated socio- bureaucratic environmental governance relationship and partnership the conservation and preservation efforts contributed and pledged by the residential community citizens in ensuring excellence to foster strong regulation for the Makhonjwa mountain was considered and endured as an phenomenal stance which amazed the UNESCO council. Therefore, amongst the rest bidding nations presented afore, given the natural and enlightenments, sound discovery knowledge information and concrete phenomenal of what bestows, UNESCO officially considered; promulgated the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountain (Greenstone Belt) to be a World Heriatge Site, the Republic of South Africa’s 10th and Mpumalanga Province 1st(first) world heritage site.

Good day Louis Mentor
I hope you are well.
Firstly, i appreciate your response to my report. However, i find it ample of the view to express my disappointment regards your feedback(personal assumption) and immediate decision provided- being suspicious of the report being copied without any consultation nor request for more information. The general axiom is that the report had not and is not copied. This report is original sub auspices from information of the published IUCN report, Barberton Tourism Barberton Times and Mpumalanga Mirrior Newspaper. The provided information relevant to such is a research found upon the basis and can be traced as source from the Mpumalanga Provincial Government(MPG) Department of Economic Development and Tourism site which was also promulgated by the former honorable Member of the Executive Committee(MEC). I have pledged greater emphasis and effort into producing such an extensive report on the basis of equitable, credible and legitimate findings. Again, I have written many reports prior(even during my first[21st] ambassadorship tenure) and even recently(prior reports) about the Makhonjwa Mountains from the research of such and other relevant sources. Lastly, I provided a link of the main actual reports whereby position, stating the original source. If this was plagiarized, then i wouldn't have provided any links to the main (IUCN) reports. Please kindly view the IUCN report, read thoroughly and compare my own report to your analysis. I believe you will alter your decision thereof. I will appreciate response. Thank you.

Hi Xolani,
Thank you for writing this book review about the Makhonjwa mountain. I am highly suspicious of the originality of this report and I assume you have copied this report from World Heritage Nomination-IUCN Technical Evaluation Report. Please rewrite the report ASAP and meanwhile this submission will not be counted.
