					<description><![CDATA[I am somewhat fascinated by this article! Consensus from the grassroot attendees that this was the worst and possibly the last Pink Loerie. The DA withdrew support there was no floats and flag carrying bears winning the float of the the year award, should make organisers worry!  Never again will I spend money on Pink Loerie as the organisers failed to unite the community! Zanzibar was on Saturday night was near empty and the bar accross the road buzzed, frequented by locals. Visible split between locals and visitors and it was evident that none of the locals at the Satuday night, was part of the parade! So dad as the split was clearly a racial divide. So sad if we fight for recognition yet within the community we remain divided by between locals and visitors, cleary reflecting a divide between white visitors and locals. I think John-Louis and the current organisers owe an explanation or two to the funders, sponsors and paying visitors. Yes and over paid! Zanzibar prices fluctuated by the hour! See the many FB commnets. Speaking of social media, see the little Pink Loerie Twitter feeds. Other than the planted and sponsor tweets, no grassroot tweets. BearfestSA was advertised as part of the BearColony but no  visible recognition of Mr BearfestSA. And that little two step walk the JoziCatsbhad to do on organisers request was a joke. The street was not closed cars were blocking the interaction with roadside supporters. Knysna Tourism and the town council clearly lost their patience with Pink Loerie&#039;s and the apparent lack of good organisation! You make the side  and run up events sound far more glamorous than it was! Honest reporting appears to be lacking! But then MambaOnline was a sponsor and you can&#039;t go back reporting on the total disappountment aka Pink Loerie 2017. Pity Mamba is not also questioning John Louis and organisers. Will you report on the organising board members now resigning? Pity they don&#039;t challenge the real problem...why are you jot reporting on Pink Loerie disputes that commenced long before the event? Organisers have so much to explain!!]]></description>
