 treasures all across the Resort gardens, while parents gathered for friendly chats in the warm sun. After the excitement of the morning, everyone ventured to Old Kitchen, where a delicious buffet-style lunch was served. All-in-all, some wonderful holiday memories were made!
There are so many holiday moments that warm our hearts, whether during a public holiday long weekend, school holiday or sweet midweek stay! The kids thoroughly enjoy laser tag and can be heard laughing excitedly over on the soccer field. Our guests spotted a few crocodiles on the riverbank, lazing in the sun. We not only hosted a pancake baking competition, but a fishing competition, too. And, so much more!
The Mount Amanzi family is ever-evolving. Some team member’s chapters close and we wave them off in high spirits on their new journeys, while new team members arrive full of positivity and great vibes. Take a moment and say “hi” to the new additions to the Mount Amanzi family!
First and foremost, we would love to give a round of applause to Zelda Garzouzie for her dedication as acting Resort Manager at Mount Amanzi for the past while. Many of you might not know but Zelda is an integral part of the VRS Head Office Team. So, while we have truly valued her input and appreciated her guidance, we’re excited for her to be returning to her Head Office role. Thank you, Zelda!
And with that, we welcome Johan and Cecilia Saunders as the new Resort Management Team. Johan and Cecilia have local, and international, hospitality experience, as well as experience in the finance and IT sector. Their passion for hospitality and great customer service is evident in all they do. This power couple have worked with VRS for many years and have moved to Mount Amanzi following a successful period at one of VRS’s sister Resorts. Johan takes the reins as Resort Manager and Cecilia steps in as Assistant Resort Manager.
With fresh perspective and a much-loved Resort under their wings, we know this exciting new Team will take Mount Amanzi onwards and upwards. We wish you much success in your new roles and many blessings for the Resort and its guests, and valued Shareholders!
We would also like to share a round of applause for Warren Wilskut!
Warren serves as part of the Reception Team and has been receiving many compliments regarding his friendly demeanour, excellent customer service and enthusiasm.
We appreciate you, Warren!
An amazing child-friendly and family-oriented place. The warm indoor pool is lovely and tranquil, especially if you take an evening swim. We loved the entertainment at the main pool (if you’re looking for a lekker vibe). The cold pool near the black swans was refreshing and quieter. The games room does not only cater for kids but for adults, too, where you can play karrem board, giant snakes and ladders and giant Jenga. The jumping pillow is also a treat...The rooms are clean and cosy and staff are friendly and attentive.
Nicest place to relax... excellent service and surely the Resort with the friendliest staff! Thank you Mount Amanzi; we will definitely come again!
It was a truly amazing holiday met with tranquil surroundings and friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest. Will definitely return!
Loved our accommodation; very private and quiet, but still within easy walking distance from all the onsite amenities. There were so many things to keep our little one (age 5) entertained - playgrounds, swimming pools, trampolines, oversized game boards, unexpected wildlife encounters - we had a blast!
Awesome Resort with lots to do in and around. Nature all around. Well-kept self-catering units with great service.

Alison AchesonÂ has written many books for children and young people. Her young adult novel Mud Girl was a finalist for the Canadian Library Association's Young Adult Book Award. Alison teaches writers of all ages and works as a freelance editor. She lives in Ladner, BC, with her spouse, three sons and an old rescue dog named Rocky.Susan Strange was a notable economist, researcher, and scholar who was born in Dorset on the ninth of June in the year of 1923. She obtained her professional education at the London School of Economics (LSE), which made her competent in the sphere of politics and economic strategies. Strange became famous for establishing such discipline as the International Political Economy (IPE). The following paper will discuss and cover Susan Strange’s contribution to the study of power in International Political Economy to evaluate and demonstrate the scholar’s viewpoints and statements as to the given theme.
Although this theory was not officially recognised and implemented by politicians at first, it had a significant impact on the entire political system and education later (May 1996). Strange’s statements were disregarded until the 1980’s. The scholar’s work was not accepted for an extended period due to the lack of similar analyses of structural power by her colleagues from other parts of the world.
However, the four dimensions mentioned above became very useful and beneficial for governing various organisations (Strange 1996). For instance, several countries’ politicians, presidents of business companies, and other economic structures implemented these theses to make their production processes more efficient.
Nevertheless, individuals who used Strange’s theory to operate their corporations or states made different conclusions that also demonstrated certain disadvantages to improve and elaborate on this study. Moreover, it is essential to understand that every dimension of structural power cannot be neglected as these factors’ roles are equal in particular strategies.
The meaning of power in the structure of security implies that each side of negotiations or other political events must be treated with deference and is obliged to provide safety to its colleagues. In other words, partners should be aware of any actions that one of them is willing to apply in the nearest future. Susan Strange (1996) claims that every person who follows her suggestions may receive specific privileges and advantages in the society afterward.
The author emphasises that safety is one of the most important qualities in any partnership because it makes every member of collaboration enjoy his or her colleagues’ confidence (Strange 1996). Strange (1996) explains that this theory is based on historical events and outcomes that relate to the international political economy. For instance, the first economic issues that concerned every politician (approximately two hundred years ago) laid in the safety of certain Commonwealths and understanding and accounting accurate values of contemporary currencies and products on various markets (Wyk 2000).
It would be proper to mention that people who occupy governing positions in parliaments are responsible for their nations’ security, rights, and freedoms, which politicians are obliged to deliver to citizens under any circumstances.
Susan Strange does not discuss diverse standards of safety that have to be present during countries’ leaders’ meetings. Instead, the scholar argues that national security stems from proper regulations and adjustments of political power because a plethora of issues in this sphere emerge due to the lack of authorities on the international level (May 1996). Therefore, the general meaning of power in the security structure implies politicians’ abidance by rules that require a particular nation’s safety.
In general, Susan Strange (1996) understands and explains the production structure of the International Political Economy, as controlling every item produced and developed in territories of a particular Commonwealth forms the local economic system. Moreover, she claims that it is essential to account and have physical evidence or documentation that contains precise information about an organisation or individual who produces certain items, along with all the technologies implemented in a manufacturing process (Strange 1996).
The scholar stresses that only high-quality country’s production, which remains in public demand for an extended period, might make any Commonwealth rich and independent (May 1996). The only possible method for a state to become wealthy is to trade its products and natural resources with neighbouring countries to gain profit and allocate received finances among the local citizens (Wyk 2000).
Hence, in case of some social group’s weak control over various manufacturing processes, another organisation is likely to take over governing positions and realise its new policies in this sphere (Strange 1996). However, when production strategies change due to hope to improve quality, other significant changes might emerge in a particular structure, as previous policies satisfy old consumers and markets. Moreover, various production changes will have an impact (not necessarily negative) on the international trading and political relationships.
