The Professional Hunting Association of South Africa has suspended the membership and all rights and privileges of Professional Hunter and safari operator Krys Wessels of Kukuzans Safaris.

In a statement released today by PHASA, Chief Executive Officer Adri Kitshoff states:

"PHASA has received a written complaint against one of our members, Mr. Krys Wessels, for misconduct which, if proved, would be seriously viewed by PHASA as being in contravention of its Constitution.

"The relevant sworn statements have been considered and the PHASA Executive Committee has decided to prosecute Mr. Wessels before the PHASA Disciplinary Tribunal. Mr. Wessels was informed accordingly on Wednesday, 22 September 2010.

"The PHASA Executive has further decided to suspend Mr. Wessels' membership of PHASA and all rights and privileges with immediate effect, until the matter has been finalised."

The Hunting Report has also received recent complaints on Kukuzans Safaris and is waiting for a response from Wessels. We hope to air both the complaints and Wessels' response in the November issue of the newsletter. In the meantime, we urge anyone who has had recent dealings with Kukuzans and Wessels, good or bad, to contact The Hunting Report at editorial@huntingreport.com. Should PHASA decide to reinstate Mr. Wessels' membership, we will let you know. - Barbara Crown, Editor.
