VOLUME 42
Weekend of ‘wild things’ at Wildsfees
A
MONG the loads of exciting activities awaiting festivalgoers at Kirkwood, there will be a rhino offered on auction at the annual Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees game auction – but in bronze, and to raise funds to combat poaching. Profits from the proceeds of the auction tomorrow will be donated to the Rhino Protection Unit. The sculpture was done by Spies
Venter a well known artist who has been sculpting and painting rhinos for more than 30 years. “The first animal that I saw was a white rhino, standing pensive like a statue. The silence projected by this colossal armoured mammoth was overwhelming,” said Spies Venter. The bronze rhino to be auctioned tomorrow is 300mm long by 200 mm high. “At first I wanted to portray the pain, suffering and anger of this threatened animal, who could dance so light-footed with uplifted head, despite its massivity. In my later works I focus more on the fighting spirit of the peaceful colossus.” Live animals on auction include 30 prize Addo Elephant National Park Cape buffalo and a variety of other prime game from the Eastern Cape’s leading breeders and reserves. A wild weekend full of exciting new attractions to the Wildsfees is on the cards from Friday till Sunday. ) Tickets are available from the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees office on 0042 230 0064 or go to www.wildsfees.co.za
