I have been in court mostly this month and the two fuckers ( Bornface Chishoshi and Humphrey Kabinda) who were responsible for bringing my project down were convicted to 5 years hard labor by the High Court. The same individuals who have a lease with my wealthy neighbor. In addition, the fucks that burnt down my camp and possessions Have been identified and are being hunted down.

Another Kabinda brother was previously given 10 years for aggravated robbery.

Good news but what happens now?

So what is the next step what happens now?

Good luck, Andrew
Finding justice in African courts is rare, but you seem to have gotten some.

Andrew,

Best of luck in rebuilding your camp.

it will take time and money to bring it back to your expectations.

However, I have confidence ce that you will be able to make it happen.

Great news Andrew! Congrats! Perseverance pays off.

Looking forward to our next adventure together.

Good news. All the best in getting Royal Kafue back and running again.

That's great news, but what happens when they get out and still want your property?

Best wishes on completely winning the case

and hopefully collect some of the damages to fix things up.

George

Five years of hard labour could be a death sentence. With a bit of luck!

The Police are investigating fraud, arson, and embezzlement. There will be many more years added to this sentence.

We need to expose those who initiated such actions. Remember I simply left camp after a season and was approached with an offer for my lease which I refused and coincidentally that is when the shit hit the fan. I had to bear the brunt of an ugly smear campaign, my sons were threatened and my scouts were beaten into submission, My entire camp/possessions were torched and anything of value was stolen along with my hunting car. That was 3 years ago.

Good news Andrew. I hope you get Royal Kafue back ship shape.

This is good news. While nothing can replace the time lost, at least there is hope for the future.

I hope it works out to your satisfaction Andrew!

Nah and will be looking at compensation. Once bitten twice shy

Before



After

Still have to beat PTJ.

Their first stint of "hard labor" should be rebuilding your camp & putting everything back the way it was!

That’s nice but did you pay Cmethe $80,000 you owe him?

Royal Kafue has nothing to do with CME.

Tiddlywinks relaxes boredom ... try it.

Crawl back into your hole.

Got a court order to return what was left of my stuff and recovered vehicle back to Royal Kafue.

All the best Andrew. Just said a prayer for you.

With a court order in hand, I returned to Royal Kafue after three years of absence. Who deserves treatment like this? 15 years of my life. It is now entirely fenced into the Paul Tudor Jones estate. I noticed it is heavily electrified on the communal side and absolutely no sign of investment. These pictures will do the talking.











Fucking bastards will pay for the hurt. Everyone who has colluded against me will be incarcerated for their sins.

The community alone is seeking $5M for being tear-gassed and bulleted off their communal lands. A community that I encouraged and embraced in land and wildlife ownership.

And a toast to all whose laughter echoed through my camp. Jim and Joyce who made it all happen.

Remembering Darin





She knocked over these Buff free hand and if I ran out of Champagne during the safari then she would not pay for the hunt.

Did Darin pass away ?

No but she moved from California

Wow Andrew,

your photos bring back memories of burnt out camps in South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The before and after photos are telling. Unless some one see what has happen they usually cannot relate. The camps were never rebuilt, as the PH"S were sure that as soon as they departed any new building would be burnt down. It was a loss of some fine hunting camps. it was the time to build and the money spent that would never be recovered.

I am not sure if you would be able to put up a walled tent, like I have hunted out of Tanzania and Zimbabwe would be safer or not. The tents are still a lot of work to install and do cost some $$.

Wishing you the best in what you decide to do.

She is a rock star....
Killed a leopard while hobbling on a broken leg in TZ, buff as well.

Miss seeing her here.

Congratulations on your court victories Andrew,

Wow. I've read some cowardly things before, but I think yours takes the cake. I hope you don't hunt in Zim or South Africa soon with anybody who has been on the receiving end of this kind of thing, because you would definitely need a dentist afterwards.

Now I have been hit with trespass and yet another court case. Whilst I was there it was interesting to note the electric fence was to keep the community out of their traditional lands. My project was to unite a community with wildlife and realize the value of their lands.

Remember this was a communal project and I had invited the poor and disadvantaged into my camp who were shot and tear-gassed out of their lands and who now suing the state for 5 million dollars and good on them for taking on the rich and privileged.

I walked around the remnants of my camp and thought about what sort of people would do this. To destroy
everything I worked for over 12 years? To burn and steal my possessions.

Probably took their lessons from Hamas....

Damn Andrew. I’m wishing you the best. People in the west do not realize how incredibly difficult business in Africa is. Take normal African business dealings and put this on top of it? Most men would just quit.

Reading this story, I can’t help but think that this would make one hell of a movie. If Hollywood was at all interested in wildlife conservation and not scared of PTJ, you would have a movie deal.

Bare minimum, the book would be fascinating. I’d buy a copy.

Be hard to find the proper actress to cast as Darin.

I think Bo Derek would work!

Hi All;
I don’t want to hijack Andrew’s thread, but it seems to be the only way I can post.
I’m alive and I have escaped California! Now living in Idaho.
Although I’ve had many invitations to return to Africa, travel the long hauls just isn’t as fun as when I was younge. I do return to Wyoming every year for deer & antelope and that keeps the freezer full and keeps me hunting!
I haven’t posted for some time, but I consider AR to be my home.
Best to you all! Darin
