New hope for PE's Bayworld?

There is possibly light at the end of the tunnel for Bayworld.

The complex in Port Elizabeth that needs a cash injection of R400 million for a new structure to house the dolphins has received an additional R5,3 million for operating costs and may receive funds from national government, Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture MEC Noxolo Ntantiso-Abrahams told the Bhisho Legislature today.

The MEC said that Bayworld had made a presentation to a meeting of minister of Arts and Culture Pallo Jordan and other provincial MECs and would now present a business case to the national department for additional funding.

Just where Bayworld will get additional dolphins no one is saying, least of all the Bhisho committee that probed the situation at the facility mumbling darkly about an “unethical route” whatever that might be.
