Cover / Voorblad Cape eland / Kaapse eland
Eland are highly mobile, nomadic and non-territorial, and the largest of the spiral-horned antelopes of Africa. Pallas origi-nally described the southern or Cape eland as Antilope oryx in 1766, based on a specimen from near Cape Town, but Wagner renamed it Taurotragus oryx in 1855. The Livingstone’s eland naturally occurs in the miombo wood-lands of central Zambia. It has a variable number of vertical stripes and is heavier than the Cape eland but is mostly regarded as a geographically isolated phenotype of the Cape eland. Historically, the Cape eland was found as far south as the Cape Peninsula, but not in western Namibia.

Jan van der WaltHoofredakteur / Editor-in-chief Die rol van volhoubare benutting
Chris van der Watt begin in hierdie uitgawe met ’n uitstekende eerste deel van ’n reeks artikels oor die rol van volhoubare benutting in doeltreffende wildbestuur- en bewaring. Dit skep geleentheid vir ’n pluimpie vir Wildbedryf SA (WRSA), wie se voorganger, die SA Wildorganisasie (Sawo), se visie reeds meer as 21 jaar gelede was: “Die wins-gewende, volhoubare benutting van Suid-Afrika se wild- en natuurbates, op ’n geor-dende wyse, tot voordeel van die land en al sy mense.”
WILD & JAG voel ook gevlei omdat die heel eerste uitgawe van dié tydskrif in Desember 1994 ook hierdie visie by sy inhoudsopgawe aangehaal het, en verder die woorde “Bewaring deur benutting / Conservation through utilisation” as voetnota onder-aan elke bladsy gebruik het.
Chris verwys ook na die rol van die Wet op Wilddiefstal van 1991. Ook hierdie wet het gevolg op ’n kongresbesluit van Sawo in 1988, waaraan die destydse regering dade-lik aandag geskenk het. Hierdie wet het die wettige eienaarskap van wild op vrygestelde (voldoende omheinde) plase in die hande van die plaaseienaar gevestig en só kommer-siële waarde aan wild verleen. Dit het die grondslag gelê vir die geweldige uitbreiding in wildproduksie- en bemarking wat later plaasgevind het, en terloops ook die grondslag vir die sukses van hierdie tydskrif gelê het.
Die wildboere het deur hul eie organisasie meer as 35 jaar gelede al begin met die strukture van vandag se sukses.
The role of sustainable utilisation
In this issue Chris van der Watt brings you an excellent article, the first in a series on the role of sustainable utilisation in effective game management and conservation. This justifies a well-deserved compliment to Wildlife Ranching SA (WRSA), whose predeces-sor, the SA Game Organisation (Sago), had as its vision already more than 21 years ago the following: “The profitable, sustainable utilisation of South Africa’s game and nature assets, in an orderly manner, to the benefit of the country and all its people.”
GAME & HUNT is also pleased as the very first edition of this magazine in December 1994 also quoted this vision in its table of contents. Furthermore, the words “Bewaring deur benutting / Conservation through utilisation” appeared as a footnote at the bottom of each page.
Chris also refers to the role of the Game Theft Act of 1991. This act was also the result of congress decision by Sago in 1988, which the then government attended to immediately. This act vested the legal ownership of game on exempted (adequately fenced) farms in the hands of the farm owner, thereby giving game a commercial value. This laid the foundation for the extensive expansion of game production and marketing that followed later, and which, by the way, also formed the basis for the success of this magazine.
Game ranchers have, through their own organisation more than 35 years ago, al-ready established the structures for current successes.

WILD & JAG JUNIE 2016 9
Die jagter en die wildbedryf – WRSA se reaksie
Mnr Pieter G van Tonder van Lydenburg, Mpumalanga se
brief “Die jagter en die wildbedryf”, soos gepubliseer in die Mei-uitgawe van WILD & JAG, verwys. Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om daarop te reageer.
Mnr Van Tonder se bekommernis oor prysverhogings vir wild en ak-kommodasie die afgelope paar jaar word ook gereeld op sosiale media-netwerke deur ander Suid-Afrikaanse jagters gedeel. (Dit is net nie altyd op so ’n professionele, hoflike manier soos mnr Van Tonder se brief nie en daarvoor wil ek hom graag bedank.)
Dit is ’n onbetwisbare feit dat jag die kern van die Suid-Afrikaanse wild-bedryf is en daarom is dit noodsaaklik dat mnr Van Tonder se bekommernis en stellings aangespreek moet word. Wildbedryf SA (WRSA) het alreeds tydens ons jaarlikse konferensie in Maart ’n paneelbespreking gehou oor ons vereniging en wildboere in die al-gemeen se rol in die Suid-Afrikaanse jagbedryf (verwys na artikel “WRSA & hunters”, gepubliseer in WILD & JAG van Mei 2016, bl 136).
Dit is onmoontlik om die saak doeltreffend en omvattend in ’n brief aan te spreek en daarom het ons die redakteur van WILD & JAG versoek om ons ’n geleentheid te bied om ’n volledige artikel te publiseer in ’n volgende uitgawe. [Dit is so gereël – Redakteur]
Ek glo dat die artikel duidelikheid
sal gee; nie net oor prysbepaling van jagtogte nie, maar ook wat WRSA kan doen om plaaslike jagters se jagdeel-name te bevorder en te laat groei.
Vriendelike wildbedryfgroete,Adri Kitshoff-Botha HUB WRSA
Biltongjag is ’n misoes
E k wil antwoord op Pieter van Tonder se brief in WILD & JAG
(Mei 2016-uitgawe).Die definisie van ’n misoes is
wanneer die boer se opbrengs op sy oes in geldwaarde minder is as sy insetkoste. Insetkoste was bv R5 000 per hektaar, maar die oes was R3 000 per hektaar.
Hy haal dr Flippie Cloete aan en verwys na long-term sustainability. Die jagbedryf is net volhoubaar as die boer ekonomies volhoubaar kan boer. Die wildboer moet derhalwe ’n wins uit jag kan maak.
Ek gaan my eie plaas van 1 000 ha in die Marken / Limpopo-omgewing as voorbeeld gebruik. Die plaas se markwaarde is R15 m. Indien ek die geld belê in eiendom in die stad of op aandele, behoort ek ’n opbrengs van 10% te kry, wat my R125 000 per maand sal gee.
Uitgawes per maand:Gemiddelde uitgawes per maand is R60 000 sonder ’n salaris vir my. Soos hierbo genoem, kon ek R125 000 per maand op my beleg-ging gekry het . Ek is egter tevrede met R100 000 per maand. Die plaas moet daarom ’n jaarlikse inkomste van R1 920 000 lewer om volhoubaar te wees.
Drakrag van die plaas:In die omgewing is die gemiddelde drakrag 12 ha per Grootvee-eenheid (GVE). Die plaas se dravermoë is dus 83 GVE.
Gevolglik kan ek die volgende aan-hou: 100 rooibokke (R2 000 stuk), 30 vlakvarke (R800 stuk), 30 blou- wildebeeste (R4 000 stuk), 20 koedoes (R7 000 stuk), 10 sebras (R6 000 stuk), 20 elande (R8 000
stuk), 20 rooihartbeeste (R6 000 stuk) en 20 waterbokke (R6 000 stuk).
Volgens dr J du P Bothma (in die boek Wildplaasbestuur, bl 405–407) kan ’n maksimum van 25% van diere jaarliks gejag word. Indien ons hierdie reël toepas, kan 25 rooibokke (R50 000), 8 vlakvarke (R 6 400), 8 wildebeeste (R32 000), 5 koedoes (R35 000), 3 sebras (R18 000), 5 elande (R40 000), 5 rooihartbeeste (R30 000) en 5 waterbokke (R30 000) gejag word.
Totale inkomste per jaar deur jag: R241 400
Inkomste deur dagfooie:• R450 per jagter • R350 per nie-jagter• 20 Jagte vir die jaar, 3 jagters en 3 nie-jagters, slaap 3 nagte20 x 3 x 3 x R450 = R81 000 per jaar20 x 3 x 3 x R350 = R63 000 per jaarTotale dagfooi-inkomste: R144 000
Ander inkomste:Huur van jagkamp, wildritte, ander aktiwiteite: R250 000 per jaar.
Totale inkomste per jaar:Jag: R241 400Dagfooie: R144 000Ander: R250 000Totale inkomste: R635 400 Uitgawes per jaar: R1 920 000Inkomste per jaar: R635 400Verlies per jaar R1 284 600
Gelukkig is die plaas klaar be-taal, dus is daar nie ’n maandelikse verbandpaaiement nie, wat die verlies nog groter sou gemaak het.
Die biltongjagbedryf is derhalwe vir my en baie ander wildboere ’n misoes. Om die boerdery ekonomies volhoubaar te bedryf, sal jagpryse en dagfooie met 300% moet styg.
Gelukkig is daar skaarswildsoorte en kleurvariante van verskillende bok-soorte wat dit vir wildboere moontlik maak om volhoubaar te boer.
Indien enige persoon my bereke-ninge bevraagteken, kan hulle my kontak by [email protected].

GAME & HUNT JUNE 201610
Napha objection
As your GAME & HUNT magazine is always distributed to the Na-
mibia Professional Hunting Organisa-tion (Napha) office, where it used to be displayed, we need to inform you on the following decision taken on the last Napha Exco meeting:
Because of a decision taken by the Napha Scientific Data Committee
in 2004 against “breeding of colour variants”, as well as motions ac-cepted by the Napha membership with overwhelming majorities during the Napha AGM 2012 and 2015 against the “selective artificial breeding of wild animals for the hunting industry”, your magazine, publishing manifold adverts and articles promoting artificial breed-ing of wild animals, wild animals with ear tags and trophies pre-measured, etc, has roused severe repulsion amongst our membership.
The practice of selective artificial breeding of wild animals, which is rejected by important international conservation organisations and its promotion disallowed by important hunting shows in Europe, is particular-ly disturbing in times where hunting is under so much international pressure.
We therefore will no longer display the GAME & HUNT magazine in the Napha office.
Yours sincerelyKai-Uwe DenkerPresident Napha
Editor-in-Chief Jan van der Walt replies:
Thank you for your opinion.We would like to have the opinion
of our Namibian readers and else-where on this matter, seen against the background of our reputation of 21 years as an independent publication, which in the first place promotes the sustainable economic utilisation of our wildlife; highlights controversial ethical practices; promotes no specific pro-duction practices; and is very mindful of encouraging representative hunters, game ranchers and conservation or-ganisations to iron out differences and not to do harm to the reputation of the game and hunting industries. Already there is in producers’ and hunters’ circles an awareness of disturbing practices and a willingness to address them.
My Comment “Wildlife utilisation” in the May edition presents a good rendering of our approach.
What do our readers say?
