| 12/10/25 | December 16th Part 1: The Voortrekker Monument - the lead up to Blood River | Send us Fan Mail December 16th is an important day in South Africa. It is a public holiday - it was first "Dingaan's Day", then it was "Day of the Vow", and now it is "Day of Reconciliation". We start at the Voortrekker Monument - a "must visit" on any South African itinerary - and start the story of why December 16th is such an important day.

| 12/2/25 | Hunting in South Africa - the mostly good - the bad - and some is downright disgusting! | Send us Fan Mail An emotive issue - Hunting and Trophy Hunting. As you drive through South Africa - particularly in Northern KZN, Mpumalanga, North West, Limpopo, and now the Eastern Cape as well - you pass kilometres of high electrified fencing. These are what we call "Game Farms" - aimed at tourism and hunting. We explore the topic and the importance of this industry to South Africa.

Breaching dams and derelict boreholes? | Send us Fan Mail In the mid 1900's over 300 boreholes were installed, and 50 dams built in the Kruger National Park to supply water for the wildlife.
