In answer to Ou suinig's letters of 16 and 22 November. Martin Wolmarans was so kind as to provide us with the following answer.
Good Day Ciarra
The following animals were caught and sold to the nature estate:
Eland 24
Black Wilde bees 21
Blesbok – 15
The following new game were added recently:
Livingston Eland 5
Waterbuck – 6 (Has anyone noticed them?)
We would like to add as many as possible different types of species on the farm which is also part of our short – long term (5 year plan).
For each and every new game species we want to add on the farm we need to apply for a permit from the Nature Conservation. They will advise if we are allowed to have the specified species or not. It is all about the individual habitat of the specific animals. For example I approached them for a permit on the Nalas which they declined as this is not their natural habitat.
Your question relating to the ostrich we will have to apply for a permit however do we really want them as we could face a problem especially with our kids running around freely on the Eco estate - it could be dangerous to them.
I hope all our nature lovers noted that we planted 65 trees on the estate over the last two weeks. As well as the fish have arrived and all the dams are properly stocked with a combination of Tilapias. See pictures attached.
If you would like more detail regarding the game please contact me on the following numbers below.
Kind Regards,
