Uodate : 27 Jan 2023 St. Lucia estuary

 Greetings to all who read here. It is Saturday 27 Jan 2023 and I am in St. Lucia KZN South Africa. I am busy with the 4u2fish project which has an internet presence  Where 4u2fish is used as a domain name issue as well as a campaign specific hashtag which works together with the #Frankie2Socks HASH TAG  WORKS TOGETHER WITH OTHER ONLINE MARKETING TACTICS.



Yours Truly (Frankie2Socks) was at the beach again this morning, well before the sun stuck its nose over the horizon.  My self and Petrus Bier from s from  Bier pens tv are on the beach every day before sunrise.  This is where Petrus gets his YouTube clips from. if you watch the channel you will hear Petrus mention me every know and then. So just to put all my readers, subscribers, and fans in the right thinking mode, I ask you all to talk about the 4u2fish campaign, and what its impact should be on the DOMESTIC TOURISM MARKET.   this has many sides to the story and, we as the public need to stand up for our rights, the collective community rights and the rights of them creatures who have no voice or say in how mankind is changing the water flow issues and related biodiversity losses within the Greater St. Lucia wetlands Park, which is now managed and governed by the iSimangaliso Wetland Park or the  IWPA 

Our area which has had many names over the years is vastly open spaces that fall into the nature conservation zones, with some human  habitat and agricultural use including commercial forestry, harvesting and resales of natural renewable resources including but not restricted to 

  • fish
  • prawns
  • crabs 
  • thatching reads 
  • Ncema grass
  • Ikhwane  (Bull Rushes) leaves not flowers or seeds
  • ILala Palm tree leaves and Njemane beer
So Tourism and fishing-related matters have been the corner stone of the Umkhanyakude district municipality for many years. In the years before the 4X4 Ban fishing was really active hear in St. Lucia and at one stage there were many fishing tackle outlets and both the Dolphin supermarket and Spar (St. Lucia)  The 4x4ban closed many tourism businesses here along the Elephant Coast.  This blog supports and gets a commission on any sales through the HEJJU sub pages at frankie2socks.hejju.com and we will be actively promoting these pages and our related online marketing assets like  facebook.com/4u2fish 

the biggest issue for us at the 4u2fish management team is the fact that tourism associated with fishing is being ignored by the St. Lucia Torusim folks, and this needs to change and change rather seriously, coz the lake systems are TOTALLY FUCKED... EFF You SEE KAY EEE DEEEE all in capital letters and Underlined in RED     so we gotta get the lake and estuary system dunctiional again, and do theis soon.  tourism numbers are qdwindling and we gotta do some thinng to save jobs, and bring others back into existand. take a #PeepSee her and help us by taking a break, and booking through the platform found here  
the IWPA will soon be starting their Public Participation process and to stay abreast of these issues see our FB PAGE at feacebook.com/4u2fish

Tourism in and around St. lucia

The village of St. Lucia estuary. More commonly called St.  Lucia is in north east Zululand KZN South Africa. The main source of income from the local folks is tourism associated with the IWPAWHS or iSimangaliso Wetland Park world heritage site. The iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority is the juristic person appointed by the South African Government to look after the St. Lucia wetlands Park and surrounding areas that were incorporated into the iSimangaliso Wetland Park world heritage site.



St. Lucia is the main tourism hub in the Mtubatuba local municipality, which is one of four local municipalities within the Umkhanyakude district municipality. St. Lucia estuary village lies in the extreme south East corner of the Umkhanyakude district municipality, and borders on the 
Frankie2Socks Consulting services is based in St. Lucia and we consult on FUFISM BASED MARKETING strategies specifically geared for the tourism industry. Frankie2Socks.hejju.com is our online sales platform that we favour. Coz we get paid a commission for every sale that we generated on this hejju.com platform 

Once again this blog is in place to market tourism  opportunities and tourism businesses within the Umkhanyakude district municipality and durounfing areas, with a primary focus on St. Lucia and the fishing issues conne Ted to the 4u2fish campaign 


The 4u2fish campaign is a project driven by Frankie2Socks Consulting services so as to revive the fishing and consumptive tourism base within Umkhanyakude district municipality, where lake St. Lucia and the village of St. Lucia form the two main pillars of the domestic tourism industry. The ecotourism associated with the other game reservers and game farms forms the third pillar of this tourism base which is supported and fluffed out by cultural and historical tourism within Umkhanyakude

Tourism and tourism marketing are our game, and U mkhanyakude district municipality is our playground.

Who is Frankie2Socks

  Frankie2Socks (yours truly) is an old fashioned fella, born in June 1960 that does not properly conform to the rules of society, he has a wide based general information and studied electrical engineering at Technicon Natal in Durban KZN South Africa. He currently lives in St. Lucia KZN South Africa. 

Frank's current project ascociated  with #ProjectWork  is the #4U2Fish  campaign, and most of the income generated here will go towards the 4u2Fish campaign and related tourism projects 

Frank's itourism isues.s also the CEO of Frankie2Socks Consulting Services pty Ltd a tourism marketing Consulting  company focussed on FUFISM BASED marketing tactics.

Frankie2Socks blogs about FUFISM BASED MARKETING TACTICS at 4ubrand.blogspot.com where online seasrch and the SERPs are the primary focus. This blog discusess on-line marketing tactics and related #SemanticEngineering . Semantic engineering or good old fashioned Search Engine Optimisation Strategies are a very complex set of actions and reactions to online assets within the interwebs.

Online assets is just a new way of saying "Your online content " and gereal SEON is very seldom restricted to one page at a time. Coz your web site or blog is treated as a collo tive of all the online assets within your domain, if you own one, and if you do not have your own domain, then online marketing is just a little more complex, but all the same and a few extra rules apply.

Any way Frankie2Socks discussed these issues in many places. This blog is just one a enue where the Frankie2Socks brand is used in the domain. The Frankie2Socks brand and the Info4u brand work as a team. This is evident when you look at my Email address frankie2socks@info4u.co.za

Frankie2Socks uses the interwebs as an information distribution tool that is helpful in the public perception management strategies of the 4u2fish campaign, which is an integral part of the #Frankie2Socks project management strategies.

Frankie2Socks is a very complex person who has good fishing and out door fishing experiences in mind when ever you speak to him. The 4u2fish campaignand related pro domestic tourism issues including the fishing rights along with associated access and extraction rights are also always top of mind, coz he (Frankie2Socks) wants to braai fresh prawns on a scottle at the edge of the lake and enjoy a cold one in the sun....

Come visit St. Lucia KZN South Africa

 Greetings from Frankie2socks. I live play and work in St. Lucia estuary, a small village on the northern bank of the UMFOLOZI River where the waters from the Nyalazi, Mezeneni, Hluhluwe and Mkhuze river waters flow into the ocean after relaxing in Lake St. Lucia in the iSimanngaliso Wetland Park world heritage site in North East KZN South Africa.



My pet project is the 4u2fish campaign, which is a fast growing environmental tourism non profit that focuses on using fishing and related issues as a tourism draw card to get domestic tourists to visit theUmkhanyakude district Municipality. 

The iSimangaliso Wetland Park world heritage site is the primary draw card and the fishing within the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Need's to be leveraged to attract a certain class and type of tourist to the area. Sure we do have game reserves, wild life and beautiful land scapes,  but .... Fishing is a special sport which needs some serious protection within the far north coast of Zululand and Maputuland. These beaches have been well gished for many years untill the IWPA or iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority stepped into the picture.

These fellas who manage the iSimangaliso Wetland Park world heritage site are for some reason not that freindly towards the fishing fraternity and are closing fishing opportunities at every chance they get. This is a serious issue and NOT A CONSPIRICY THEORY.

WUESTION IS what to do... How do we approach this without getting into a fighting mode ? The fishing fraternity have grave concerns around the lost biodiversity within Lake St Lucia and the St. Lucia estuary systems as well as the UMFOLOZI Flats and the Monzi sugar lands.  The fish breeding grounds and related environmental spaces are no longer properly functional due to the impacts of changing weather patterns, or as dome folks call this issue global warming.

Our rainfall patterns have changed rather seriously and we no longer have sufficient fresh water input to keep the St. Lucia Lake systems functioning in a recognized esturine manner. This is a disturbing issue, and it is not easily translated into a narrative that the public can follow. 

The 4u2fish campaign has a Facebook page at facebook.com/4u2fish and I would appreciate it if you took a #PeepSee and left a comment on any one of their posts.

Come experience St. Lucia
