Wednesday 19th June We left Malelane on Wednesday at 08h30 with Neels driving the new truck and Johan in the Toyota bakkie. It was an uneventful trip as far as Messina. We arrived there at 18h00 where we spent the night at the Baobab Cottages. The new truck is governed to 80km/h, so it is…
Friday 12 April 2024 I was fortunate on this trip to have a fuller team of people join me, as I’m usually one of a pair or alone, going to Zimbabwe on adventures. I was accompanied by Daniel (Tinus) Koekemoer’s’ brother, Neels. Neels has also after this trip availed himself to going on the trips…

To say it was a sunny time of the year would be lying, it was sweltering hot but we had so much work to do. Despite the heat it was honestly so exciting and enormously rewarding to get all the Christmas boxes and gifts packed for our deserving pensioners. We had our whole team at…
Let me start by saying that I have decided to make this report a bit different from any of the previous reports, although it will still contain some of those special moments where I actually had the PRIVILEDGE of meeting some of the “oldies” who in some small way actually contributed to making Zimbabwe the…
