In Conclusion:
We fully understand the rights of the public and riding community to voice its concerns as has happened on many a social media channels of late, it has all been taken on board. The new LORA EXCO would like to assure everybody that the riding community interests, and the Roof of Africa’s interests are our first priority and will always be.
Of late we were in deep negotiations with our partners and stakeholders and unfortunately we could not say anything until all matters had been finalised with a clear road map carved out which has now happened.
We thank you for your patience and support and assure you that more exciting news will continue to be released by the new team in the near future.”
