Ambassador killed in Limpopo 19/04/2008 20:04 - (SA) Johannesburg - The Italian ambassador to South Africa Alessandro Cevese was killed in a freak accident in Tom Burke, Limpopo police said on Saturday. Police spokesperson Superintendent Ronel Otto said Cevese was apparently part of a hunting party that was travelling in an open vehicle early on Saturday morning. The vehicle swerved to avoid an eland that crossed its path and overturned. Cevese died on the scene. Police have opened a culpable homicide inquest. Married with three children, 57-year old Cevese was a qualified lawyer with extensive diplomatic experience. He had been the ambassador of Italy to South Africa, Lesotho, Mauritius and Madagascar since July 2006.

Well, at least he was out hunting and probably enjoying himself. I suppose there is no good time or way to die; my condolences to his close ones. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

My condolenses to his family and loved ones. My sinere sympathy for the PH involved - sure hope he had his personal liability policy paid up!

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules! My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt! | |||

My condolences to those who lost a loved one. And my hopes that the PH is OK and finds peace after such an event. What a choice ... swerve or hit an Eland! Pretty obvious in the wink of an eye, but the consequences could have been the same either way! Mike -------------- DRSS, Womper's Club, NRA Life Member/Charter Member NRA Golden Eagles ...

There is no good way to die, but we all are headed that way in the end! I, for one, can't think of a better place to end my days than on a hunting safari in Africa! My condolences, however to those left behind, and offer the thought for them to understand that the man,a hunter, if asked, would probably have approved the place to end his life, and take some consolation in that fact! May he rest in piece, and have a beautiful game field to enjoy for all eternity. The last line in my journal, on the completion of my first African safari,and is in my signature line below. To me it says it all for most true hunters. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Well said, Mac. May the ambassador rest in peace. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

The others have said it well. Condolences to the familes and the PH. It's always interesting to hear of international officials that enjoy hunting. _______________________________  | |||
