The Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism (MEFT) has denied and rejected allegations that the Shark Island Camping Site is built on top of a graveyard and that physical alteration were made to the site. The allegations follow after the Namibia Wildlife Resorts (NWR) recently announced the re-opening of the island's campsite after it made renovations to it. The Campsite already re-opened to the public on 1 November.
