Spot the man with the white beard at the back?
That’s Kingsley Holgate, raconteur of note, spell-binding story-teller, traveller and humanitarian
He popped into our last meeting of Project Rhino KZN, which cause he has adopted (spot the logo on the back of the Landy) and enthralled us all with his escapades.
His talk to us was both invigorating and distressing. Invigorating, in that he put new strength into our resolve, It was distressing because he talked of young men for whom killing a rhino had become a rite of passage and passport to the good life.
We look forward to meeting up with him again at the end of his journey through Mozambique and down KwaZulu-Natal.

Thanks to all these dedicated and positive minded guardians of our creation.
WE WILL WIN. THE POACHERS ARE LOSING AND THEIR FAMILIES SADLY SUFFERING
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I agree, we need to support and encourage everyone involved in this ongoing war against poachers.
