It is an ongoing project to rehabilitate all the wetlands until we get the wetlands back into a good state. Once in a good state, the area will be open to the public where people can come and relax and have a view of the wetlands. Most bird species left during the drought, but we see them coming back,\u201d Siwela said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wetlands are now home to a range of wildlife which breeds there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday 9 December only one side of the wetland was cleaned, as a kick-off to the ongoing project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"Middle\" id=\"embed_80242295\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/7915\/3ab69ee3c67a40c6a07fef2ac80f09f3.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/f806c759df3846418af3033e662444a0.jpg\" title=\"The wetlands are now home to a range of wildlife that breed there.

A toal of 37 staff members voluntarily came to clean up,\u201d Siwela said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the complex first opened in 2000, waterlogged areas on the property regularly overflowed into the already compromised Elsies River, further detrimentally affecting the quality of the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The development team suggested building wetlands to address the problem. Today, dotted around the 56-hectare property, mostly out of sight from the casino, the wetlands offer an indigenous home to many species of birdlife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
