No more : "Afrikaans Kultuur" at ATKV Resorts

My wife and I took a group of matrics to go camping at Buffel****rt resort (7 to 15 December), my son wrote his last subject on the 6th. On our arrival we noticed several matric groups at the camp site and thought it is a good thing and hoped that the resort will arrange something for these young people to keep them busy. Unfortunately this never happened, our group were remanded twice for being too load and playing music from their vehicle, I then personally spoke to the head of security about this because all the matric groups were at some stage playing music, he then said that it is fine if the music is played from a "boom box" but not from a vehicle, I then went through the camp rules and it clearly stipulates no load music after 11 and nothing about playing music from a vehicle. It was a Friday afternoon and I then suggest that why don`t the organise or cater for these young people as they obvious know that they are there and do cause concern. He then said that the youngster are allowed to use the "LAPA" at the gate at any time and throughout the night if they which, there are braaiers there and they can bring their own music and enjoy themselves. But then he added that unfortunately the "LAPA" was booked out for the whole week-end, Friday to Sunday. So his suggestion was worthless, I asked for any alternative place or area the youngster can use but was told no nowhere. The youngsters had to keep them selves in and behave until Monday. Monday my wife went to reception to arrange for them to now use the "LAPA" but was then told it cost R600 per day to use it, this was not mentioned by the head of security. The other concerns I have is that all the activities like super tube, games room etc closes during lunch time, I mean really is this necessary, and when we asked about this we were asked if we will pay their overtime if they had to stay open for lunch time, what a insult. And now my biggest concern is the fact that ATKV resorts are suppose to be for afrikaans speaking people to share and do things in their culture, but when one phone for any enquiry you get the option to be helped in English or Afrikaans, when I went online onto their website to complain about my experience, all the questions were in English. I also notice a lot of non Afrikaans speaking people in the campsite, which for me doesn`t make sense and it leave me with no choice but to cancel my membership with this so called "AFRIKAANS KULTUUR" movement.
