Cover / Voorblad Nes met die bontebok mag dit wees dat daar nog net enkele geneties suiwer bevolkings swartneusrooibokke is. Die swartneusrooibok weeg effens swaarder en is groter as die gewone rooibok, en die stert is langer en meer bosagtig.

WILDBOER VAN DIE JAAR Jan van der Walt Hoofredakteur / Editor-in-chief
WRSA se lofwaardige projek om jaarliks die Wildboer van die Jaar aan te wys, speel ’n baie groot rol in die bevordering van doeltreffendheid in die produksie van wild, wat op ekonomies volhoubare benutting gegrond is. Kandidate vir hierdie prestigebenoeming moet voldoen aan die volgende beoordelingskriteria: finansiële bestuur, bedryfbestuursplan, inkomstegenererende aktiwiteite, besigheidkontinuïteitsplan, personeel, sosiale betrokkenheid, infrastruktuur en algemene betrokkenheid by die wildbedryf en WRSA. Die wenner, Pieter Lamprecht, asook die ander sewe finaliste is ware ambassadeurs vir die wildbedryf, wie se voorbeeld deur baie wildboere en veral nuwe toetreders gevolg kan word. Benewens die kriteria wat gestel word vir die Wildboer van die Jaar-kompetisie en wat as algemene riglyn in die bedryf beskou kan word, moedig WRSA uitmuntendheid verder aan deur ook toekennings te maak aan drie wildboere vir prestasie ten opsigte van biodiversiteit en sosiale verantwoordelikheid, groen ekonomie en teler van die jaar. As jagondernemer / wildteler erken Pieter dat die jag- en teelbedryf hand aan hand loop. Hieruit kan ’n mens aflei dat suksesvolle wildboerdery ook sorg vir voldoende jaggeleenthede in die toekoms vir die jagters van SuidAfrika en die buiteland. Sy nugter advies aan nuwe toetreders tot die wildboerderybedryf is dat hulle nie te lank moet wag voor hulle die bedryf betree nie, want geleenthede gaan verby. Hy is positief oor die nodigheid om meer opkomende boere te identifiseer en ’n deel van die bedryf te maak en toon so ook sy sosiale verantwoordelikheid. Met mense soos Pieter en die ander finaliste in sy geledere, is die wildboerderybedryf ongetwyfeld op pad na nog verdere hoogtes.
GAME RANCHER OF THE YEAR The laudable project of WRSA, namely the annual nomination of the Game Rancher of the Year, plays a significant role in promoting the efficiency of game production, which is based on sustainable utilisation. Candidates for this prestigious nomination have to comply with the following criteria: financial management, business management plan, income-generating activities, business continuity plan, staff, social involvement, infrastructure, and general involvement in the game industry and WRSA. The winner, Pieter Lamprecht, and the other seven finalists are true ambassadors for the game industry, an example that should be followed by many game ranchers and especially newcomers to the industry. Apart from the criteria of the Game Rancher of the Year competition, which could be regarded as a general guideline for the industry, WRSA further encourages excellence by also presenting awards to three game ranchers for achievements with regard to biodiversity and social responsibility, green economy, and breeder of the year. As hunting outfitter / game breeder, Pieter acknowledges that the hunting and breeding industry go hand in hand. It can therefore be concluded that successful game ranching will also ensure sufficient hunting opportunities in future for hunters from South Africa as well as abroad. His sober advice to newcomers to the game-ranching industry is that they should not wait too long before entering the industry, as opportunities could be missed. He is positive about the need to identify more emerging farmers and make them part of the industry – proof of his social responsibility. With people such as Pieter and the other finalists in its ranks, the game-ranching industry is definitely set to reach further heights.
