Jandino and Kenneth cause heavy damage to Hofi Mango due to bad weather in Curacao

BÁNDABOU – Tragedy strikes the beautiful Hofi Mango National Park in Curacao, after heavy rain caused a dam to burst and cause extensive damage. Jandino Asporaat, who founded the park with his brother Kenneth, expresses great concern about the situation and calls for urgent action to prevent further tragedies.

“Our manager and his young family were evacuated just in time. We sympathize with the victims of Bándabou and hope that this tragedy will be limited to this great material damage and that we will not advocate for human victims,” ​​said Jandino with concern on Instagram.

For many, it is no surprise that recent events are linked to the long-term neglect of Bándabou’s dams and infrastructure. “Many of you know that because of our love and duty to Curacao, we have been advocating for years that there should be a detailed repair and maintenance plan for dams and harvesting on Bándabou. ”

“We have put blood, sweat and tears into Hofi Mango over the past five years to create a beautiful national park and invest in Bándabou. If the necessary measures are not taken around us, this is important for the infrastructure and safety of the area. He’s literally drooling with the tap open,” Jandino said.

Today’s tragic events highlight the urgent need for action. Jandino has already spoken to Prime Minister Pisas and offered his support to deal with the situation.

“I spoke to Prime Minister Pisas about the seriousness of the situation and I said that we are ready to support and take action. The problem has been pushed forward for decades. Not dealing with it now will be fatal for us. Now let’s come together and solve it once and for all,” said Jandino.
