That's what comes of being greedy - some of those "private white and foreign owned conservancies" should have been sending Bob the trunk from the elephants those rich Americans have been killing and all would have been good. Wink

Some guys will never understand African PR.

Knowing human nature, they won't stop until last whitey gone from Africa
That's the goal of some or all of these people, but of course no one will say it out loud.

who in the hell does he think will go there to hunt after the government has taken over all the safari companies??? Not me and not most others I'd guess. So where is all the money then?? That POS cannot die fast enough.

Ol' Bob is really grist for the sociologist mill. After spending several years studying in England, including economics I believe, he returns home and proceeds to wreck the economy.

Talk about killing the golden goose in typical African fashion.

One would assume that whoever gets the shares will go straight onto the US banned list if they're not on it already (which they probably are) and that in turn would probably mean anyone booking with them then risks a Lacey Act violation?

Only in bloody Africa! Confused

"In an interview marking his birthday, Mugabe admitted he blundered by giving ill-equipped black farmers vast tracts of farmland under his controversial land reforms."

So he obviously hasn't learnt anything from his first blunder. coffee

Mugabes got his money & is greedy for more, but he doesn't give a rats back side about his fellow man, neither black nor white.
He & his ilk are evil, pure evil.

Steve, this Golden Goose saying is what describes Africa as whole.
I think Africans might have to go through the whole process of recivilization on their own and without a penny from outside of Africa before they will appreciate the whole concept of civilization, conservation, caring about each other and so forth.
It took our so called First world hundreds if not thousand years to get here.
It's like a business. If Africa wanted to prosper, they would hire good businessmen from Europe, US, Canada, Australia, NZ, India, some of the Arab countries with well run economy to run their country economics and just make sure all citizens had opportunity to better themselves.
But I can't for the life of me even imagine African leaders ever doing that, because they are some of the most greedy, despotic, murderous and vindictive people on this earth, who don't care about their own people one iota.

Been to Zim about a dozen times, most recently last June. Love hunting there, absolutely love it.

Chances of me going there without a white person taking responsibility for me while I'm there - - zero.

Ja. It's typical bloody Africa.

The lefty fidiots would have us believe it's all the fault of the white man but at the risk of getting political, not one African country has made a success of independence.

A good example would be found by coparing the USA to Liberia. Both have had independence for a similar number of years and both have a variety of natural and human resources etc but whilst one has developed a democratic society, all kinds of industry, including a space industry, good infrastructure and even a massive foreign aid budget etc whilst the other has more or less mastered the wheel and they didn't invent that for themselves.

Africa could and should be the most successful continent in the world and instead it's the least successful and the reason for that is the Africans or more accurately, the African leaders.

I quite agree with you Steve! But the question that begs an explanation is: Why? Why would the bounty of Africa be wasted by Africans and their democratically [once?] elected leaders squander the richness as if there is no tomorrow?

Some anthropologists have suggested that it is because Africa is so rich and fruitful - in the literal sense full of fruit - that the African never developed a future vision. They hold that the fact that if an African gets hungry, he simply walks from his village and picks some bananas or other and satisfies his hunger. No need to take some fruits home to use if he gets hungry tomorrow. He then simply repeats what he has done today: Take a short walk and pick some fruit.

OTOH, the European who did not properly prepare his and his family's food stores for the oncoming winter, was simply eliminated from the human gene pool in that part of the world. The European therefore developed a sense of the future.

In modern Africa the modern [democratically elected] leader still lacks a sense of future vision. He is therefore quite prepared to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, simply because he wants a golden egg NOW! No thought of what he will do if he again wants another golden egg the day after tomorrow!

I've got no training in anthropology, but methinks that I fully understand this argument! Wink Furthermore almost every day I observe such behavior in the people that I interact with during my work.

In good hunting.

One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

And the hypocrisy of the West never ceases to amaze me.

Mugabe has his money mostly in England, and the English government says they don't know where it is to cease Mad

At DSC this year I was chatting with an acquaintance that has been to Africa on business and safari over 20 times, over many years.
He said, "better get you hunting in Africa done in the next five years"
His opinion is whats happening in Zim is and will happen else where and the USA import bans and the Muslims will put an end to it.
That's one persons opinion.

Unfortunately, I agree. Africa is headed downhill fast.

Another question is in my mind. I wonder if those who have booked hunts are in jeopardy should Mugabe die on or before their safari is competed? What will happen?

Thanks for the cheery thought Larry. Selfishly, hoping he makes it another 5 weeks at least. Wink

Go while you can, who knows when he will die but you probably don't want choose to be in the country when he does. But like Mandela's death the news will be filtered out slowly and I doubt that there will be a violent uprising of any great consequence among the people. Between the cabinet minsters and those in power it will be a little different....Grace will battle to hold on once Bob is gone

I quite agree with you Andrew.You see some of the same in South America - especially in Brazil. Have discussed the topic With many " white " Brazilians and they have concluded With the same. One more issue is that old tribe connection that we have not had in Europe. I think that Africa has to get rid of that tribe thinking to move forward.

If they want to move forward ? Maybe they do not ??

Somebody tells me that the new President of Rwanda is making a good jobb educated in Europa and thinking differently ! Anybody knows something about this ?

Sorry, my question was rather vague. I meant it in reference to the belief that all African Countries are politically in decline. Namibia seems to stay off the radar.

I don't have the long family connections you have my friend but I do know from bitter experience how hard & painful it is to leave Africa but if it's any consolation, there's light at the end of the tunnel and although it took a while, we've settled in to Portugal very happily indeed and wouldn't choose to go back to living there....... and I'm sure it'll be the same with you. tu2

There was talking in Namibia while I was there in 2005 about land redistribution. At that time, I believe it was in the way of financial aid from the government to purchase land as it came up for sale. The man I hunted with was the former minister of education for the country, even when "black" rule was instituted. If they can keep China from getting their mitts in the mix, it may help. Africa has such a vast supply of resources, they just don't know how to manage it. As has been pointed out, there is very little thought to sustainability in most African countries, and they do not understand how to invest in infrastructure that will pay dividends later down the road. I purchased raw materials for 15 years and Africa set the pricing on many raw materials and when they had power outages or limited power available, the markets went crazy. They did not necessarily benefit from the higher prices, people just went elsewhere to insure delivery of the material.

I will be going to Zimbabwe on May 23 for sable . Hope things hold together until after my hunt . This trip will be my 8 trip to Zim. Glad I hunted when I did and got my elephant Leopard cape buffalo and hippo. Between the elephant embargo Bobs plan to seize safari areas and the rest of the private white owned farms it does not look good for hunting in Zimbabwe. Sad day no reason for me to go back if this happens.
