Many rhino are being de-horned for safety reasons, these photographs now treasured seeing the last of them in their majestic beauty.
Africa is beautiful of that there is no doubt, pity it has been put into the turmoil it now endures, only finding peace when paying to go to protected areas.
50% of middle class who managed to achieve in early years under ANC have now been lost sliding back into way worse conditions than ever witnessed.
For me it is home, one way or another make it work for long as we are able. The sooner tourism opens a better chance for rural areas to be employed and develop.
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful new week Denise.
I forgot about the rhino being de-horned. Isn't that a shame? Those photographs are treasures, for sure.
I was so hopeful when Africa made the change, a new beginning. It surely didn't last as long as I thought it would and you are right. It is way worse than I ever imagined. I worry for the safety of those I know and I feel the same way as my country slides into corruption and being woke. :( I want to run for the hills, but, this is home.
You have a great week too!
We saw many Rhino on last trip up, all without horns except this Mamma, Pappa and Baby still OK, a hidden corner grazing peacefully, given time they too will be de-horned.
All were hopeful when change arrived in 1994, time has proven us all wrong. Woke thing is here as well, one sometimes feels we have landed in a familiar place that is foreign to us.
Hugs and hoping for a better future!
