Sodwana Bay Entrance Gate

I am a proud citizen in the Mbila area in Olakeni under Induna Benjamin Zikhali. This is very unfortunate that I have to go through all this trouble as a citizen to write a complaint about the manner I was treated on Sunday 27 October 2024 at you entrance gate at Sodwana Bay. I am a citizen since 2020 and never had a problem until yesterday. It seems like there is two or more sets of rules at your gate, depending on who is working and who is not. The staff was very rude and charged me for people that was visiting me at my house in Mbila. I want to mention the ladys name that was extremely rude at the gate: Zodwa Myeni was rude as I arrived at the gate and all I wanted to do was to go in and support the local people that is selling baskets at the parking area. I never had to pay for guests visiting me at my house but yesterday I was forced to. She even threatened me that I and my vehicle will never be allowed back into Sodwana just because I was asking why I need to pay today. This behavior is very unprofessional and can not be excepted when you work with the public or local citizens in this matter. I will write a more detailed email to the gate manager at Sodwana Bay. Just thought that I need to let you all know about the double standards at the gate and the unpleasant welcome I experienced.
