Doubtful given his recent financial issues. Besides it was not CB who shot Punki. It was his daughter.

He did auction off a 500NE and a buff hunt that was filmed for TV. I can't remember how much money was raised .

Quote from Trevor Filmer who is Punki's employee

I am a Farmer/Rancher in the Eastern Cape of SA and for the last 38 years have run 2 teams of hounds used for problem animal control work - mainly jackal/caracal/bushpig - between 1992 - 2010 my hound teams were hired by Hunting Outfitters to track leopard for paying clients - it was during one of these hunts that one of my Employees, Tracker/Dog Handler , Punki Swelindawo, was involved in a tragic shooting accident - (as a full time Dairy Farmer I was unfortunately not able to personally attend every hunt, and I was not with my team on this occasion) - I have read some controversial statements, but I believe everyone involved in this unfortunate incident acted very professionally, and Punki received the very best treatment that was available - because of that excellent medical attention, Punki is alive and well today, and is now a senior member of my staff - he currently enjoys good health, but he does walk with a limp and can no longer work as a 'Dog Handler' because of the long distances they have to cover on foot - he does, however, still enjoy an outing with the 'Bushpig Team', and gets around remarkably well - whether these old injuries will become a problem later I cannot tell.
May I use this opportunity to say that the financial help received from all donors was very much appreciated, and the motorbike is still in good working order, though it has run up some mileage.
I would be happy to send photo's if anyone is interested.
To those who donated towards his extensive medical expenses - Many Many Thanks - your generosity was, and still is, much appreciated!
Regards, Trevor Filmer

Punki must be financially well off.

I agree Larry; he is not responsible for his adult daughter - something I have said repeatedly. I have not been shy about criticizing CB on a few issues, but I am miffed as to why he is held accountable for this, especially when viewed in light of a similar incident involving another AR member.

Who (not CB) was bragging on a new DR not long after.
