Richard lives in Harare on the Mavros estate. Unfortunately Rich just lost his beautiful wife Brita- a most wonderful lady. Rich is well and while not actively involved in the hunting industry he has many hunter mates still!

Damn sorry to hear that. Brita was a delightful and gracious person. A big smile with a warm and embracing personality. A very talented amateur painter as well. I am sure the loss has left Richard with a broken heart. We are diminished by her passing. Condolences to Richard.

That is sad, sad news. Brita was a delight, and the Harlands so devoted to one another.

Brita was one of the most sweet and charming ladies on the planet. I was so very sorry to hear of her passing. She was simply a friend to everyone she met and I will fondly remember her and the fun times we shared.

Unfortunately I never met Brita. I was able to enjoy a safari, as several of us did, with Richard in Dande. A more gracious and experienced companion would be hard to find. My heartfelt condolences to Richard on the loss of his wife.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
