The Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) has announced that all of its nature reserves in Mpumalanga, including the popular Blyde River Canyon, as well as its Visitor Information Centre are set to implement a cashless service system. Effective 01 September 2023, payments in cash will longer be accepted as means of payment. Visitors to the nature reserves and the Visitor Information Centre will instead be able to make all payments by using card or cell phone payment services.
"In responding to the safety measures put in place to safeguard our patrons from being targeted by criminals, the MTPA introduces a cashless system in all our parks with effect from the 1st of September 2023. Visitors to our nature reserves do not have to carry cash when visiting our facilities but would rather use card or cell phone payment services. We want to ensure that our patrons enjoy a memorable experience when visiting our facilities. This cashless service will ease their frustration about being robbed carrying large sums of cash with them" said Mr. Mduduzi Vilakazi, MTPA’s Chief Executive Officer.The Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency (MTPA) is custodian of 15 protected areas spread across three district municipalities in Mpumalanga, namely:
