  1. Interessant, hoop hulle kan dit bewaar en dat die intellectual property Madagaskar s’n bly!!!

  2. Baie interessant. Hoop so dat die infrastruktuur daarop gerig is om sulke kosbaarhede soos die palmboom te bewaar. Volg met groot belangstelling al die inlgting. Besef elke keer weer hoeveel wonderlike dinge omtrent MADAGASKAR nie oral bekend is nie .
