Trail Kreitzer is one of those guys in the community that's absolutely worth listening to.   No posturing, no fluff, no hyperbole. Just measured, field-based experience and advice from years and years of Western big game hunting. As a consistently successful bowhunter season after season, he's the embodiment of commitment to his craft.  On this episode, Trail shares his thoughts on the intricacies of modern archery equipment, finding reliable sources of information online, understanding where and what you should put your time and energy into in terms of hunting prep, how he approaches gear selection and gear development, and the importance of being adaptable with your hunting techniques.  NOTABLE QUOTES:   “I don't think that you need to be a world-class elk caller to call in and kill elk. I think it's way more important to understand elk behavior.”  @trailk11   ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  onX Hunt is the most powerful 3D mapping solution for hunters.

Die polisie het op nagemaakte goedere ter waarde van meer as 156-miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand in landwye klopjagte beslag gelê.

I was delighted to be joined by Springbok Women head coach Swys de Bruin! Having worked at academy, Franchise & Men's international level as well as being an analyst for SuperSports, there perhaps no one in South Africa more qualified as a rugby educator as Swys. In this podcast I was lucky enough to be able to pick his brains for nearly an hour, covering a wide variety of rugby topics. Swys is of course deep in his preparations with the Springbok women for the Rugby World Cup in England later in 2025. I ask him all about how he has adjusted to coaching in women's rugby and how the women's game is progressing in South Africa. He talked passionately about the diversity in South African rugby and how important it is to draw on the strength that gives the country. He then gave me a fascinating insight into his approach to coaching and how he views himself as a rugby teacher. He tells me how he communicates with his players and how he gets them playing rugby to his vision for the game. He also gave me some brilliant analysis on where rugby is headed and the trends he is seeing across the game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A consistently successful hunter is almost always a very committed hunter. Being and staying committed solo or with your core hunting partners is one thing. Doing that with two very young kids in tow is a whole other matter.    On this episode, “Big Joe” shares the story of the truly monstrous bear his wife took this past spring bear season and how through dedication, commitment, planning, and a little luck, they managed to make it happen with the whole family along for the adventure.   NOTABLE QUOTES:  “I had the cape, the skull, and the meat with me when I took it into the butcher and all of that was 440 pounds. But that's field dressed, so imagine what the bear would have weighed on the hoof.”   @joe_eppele   ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  onX Hunt is the most powerful 3D mapping solution for hunters.

The Springbok Women's rugby team is gearing up for an exciting journey to the World Cup and they need the support of the nation behind them. Through their inspiring #PlusOne Campaign, the team hopes to rally South Africans to come together and support these incredible athletes as they strive for World Cup success. The Stories Behind the Players Libbie Janse van Rensburg and Anathi Qolo, key players in the team, shared their insights and passion for rugby. Libbie, who recently took on the role of fly-half at the Bulls Daisies, has had an impressive career transition from sevens to fifteens rugby post-COVID, proudly adding 'Olympian' to her list of accomplishments. Anathi, who began her rugby journey in East London in 2015, has risen to be a Rugby Africa Women champion captain, capturing hearts with her dedication to the sport. What is the Plus One Campaign? The Plus One Campaign is about more than just cheering from the sidelines. It's a powerful movement aimed at uniting South Africans to support the Springbok Women's team. The campaign encourages every fan to bring a 'plus one' to the games; be it a friend, family member, or colleague. Anathi explains, "We believe everyone has a plus one. If you can bring your plus one to the games on Fridays or simply spread the word about our matches, you can make a real difference." This initiative is particularly vital as the team heads towards the World Cup, where national support could be a game-changer. Unity in Diversity Speaking about what makes their team so unique. Libbie shared noted that the team is rich in diversity. The team's cultural variety is not viewed as a hurdle but as a source of strength and unity. Libbie states, “Our differences bring us together. It's what makes us stronger as a team.” This powerful solidarity is part of what makes the #PlusOne Campaign resonate so deeply. It's about inclusivity and the power of coming together, no matter the background. As the team prepares for the World Cup, hearts and minds are focused on the task at hand. The anticipation builds as the players vie for a spot in the squad. "Focusing on our games and preparations is crucial," shares Libbie, underscoring the importance of staying in the present. With games against formidable opponents and the World Cup just ahead, the Springbok Women's team is set for an intense yet exhilarating season. “What an amazing achievement it would be if we make this team,” says Libbie. “It's something we're immensely proud of and it could be an incredible year for us at the World Cup.” The Springbok Women's team is encouraging all supporters to join the #PlusOne Campaign. Whether you're an avid rugby fan or new to the sport, your presence can make a profound impact. Together, we can show our Springbok heroes that their nation is behind them, cheering them on every step of the way.

In today's episode, Marius Roodt and Hermann Pretorius take a look at the sacking of the ANC's Minister of Higher Education and Training, Kenny Kunene of the PA, being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and a time when an English-speaking Springbok captain was enough to upset those in power.

There is no shortage of options in the digital watch world today.  From watches loaded with more technological features than most people could ever hope to use to models and brands with basic weather and navigational capabilities included, there's a digital option to suit most budgets.  But where do we draw the line on tech reliance in the field? Especially when our phones and satellite messaging devices can already do so much? Enter traditional tool watches.   Simple. Practical. Rugged. Dependable. Do we really need more from our timepieces?   There seems to be more and more interest in classic or traditional watches today, but a lot of that content focuses on fairly high-end brands that many of you will recognize and maybe can't afford.    But for 80+ years, a Canadian company, leveraging Swiss manufacturing has been quietly but confidently building watches for the most demanding and extreme use cases and customers. And they come at a price that most people can manage, especially when compared to the cost of a lot of the other hunting/outdoor gear we spend our money on.   Marathon Watch has an incredible history and legacy within the watch community and, if you've never heard of them before, we hope this episode exposes you to a brand that should be a household name within our community too.    NOTABLE QUOTES:  “One of our customers was deployed in the Middle East when his convoy was caught in an IED. He lost his arm, but the watch survived.”  @marathonwatch   ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

Springbok forward Nomsa Mokwai doesn't just hit hard on the rugby field for the Women rugby team - she also resuscitates patients in a Cape Town emergency room. With 13 Test caps to her name and a gruelling schedule that sees her swapping scrums for 12-hour ER shifts, Mokwai is one of many women juggling full-time work with national duty. At 32, she's gunning for a spot in the squad heading to Twickenham for the 2025 World Cup - even if that means sacrificing family time and sleep. In an interview with BizNews, Mokwai shares how she balances life on the frontlines of medicine and sport, and why she hopes to trade her stethoscope for a full-time medical degree once her rugby career winds down.

Tom has managed his first round of golf of the tour and turns up to the pod with news of a hole in one – sort of! GRO is starting to get tour FOMO now that Chris is on the ground, but how will he feel after the series done? We discuss what we want from the Tests, and if the Wallabies can deliver jeopardy and drama we crave. Would three resounding wins for the Lions be a good thing? News of the Test team has started to emerge in Brisbane ahead of the announcement tomorrow and all signs point to an all-Scottish midfield. There's finally a Welsh win for GRO to celebrate and more Springbok rugby shenanigans to debate.

The Lekker Network is a recently launched global business platform designed to help South African expatriates find business and investment opportunities around the world, including at home. Founded by a group of well-known businesspeople, The Lekker Network was launched in March and offers members access to a business directory, a jobs portal (for employers and job seekers), a social platform with “likeminded individuals” and events around the world for people, including non-South Africans, to meet up. Renier Lombard, a co-founder of The Lekker Network, is our guest on this episode of the TechCentral Show. He said the platform, whose ambassadors include well-known journalist and speaker Bruce Whitfield and former Springbok and now businessman Bob Skinstad, is designed to “forge connections between South African businesses and businesspeople, regardless of their location”. In this episode of TCS, Lombard unpacks: • Who founded The Lekker Network and why; • Who it is aimed at and who can join; • How much it costs and what members get for the fee; • The markets where The Lekker Network is focused – not surprisingly, the attention is on countries where there are a large number of South African expats; • How (and why) non-South Africans can join the network; and • The importance of the tech sector, including start-ups, to The Lekker Network community.

Springbok Sherlock 19xx.xx.xx A Hollow Victory

Twee spelers van die Blitsbok-wêreldkampioen, Ricardo Duarttee en Mfundo Ndhlovu, is aan die voorpunt van die Springbok-sewes se A-span vir die Rugby Afrika Sewesbekertoernooi volgende naweek in Mauritius. Hulle het albei drieë gedruk in die Blitsbokke se oorwinning oor Spanje in die eindstryd van die Wêreldreeks. Nog twee Blitsbokke, Sebastiaan Jobb en Masande Mtshali, sluit ook by hulle aan. Die span vertrek vandag. Afrigter Philip Snyman sê hierdie toernooi is uiters belangrik vir die groep se diepte en ontwikkeling:

Min mense dink die Bulle gaan vandag in Dublin hond haaraf maak in die Verenigde Rugbykampioenskap-eindstryd teen Leinster, onder leiding van die voormalige Springbok-afrigter Jacques Nienaber. Die Bulle se afrigter, Jake White, het vroeër gesê die gasheerspan bestaan uit Ierse toetsspelers, die All Black Jordie Barrett op senter, met die dubbele Wêreldbekerwenner RG Snyman en die Franse toetsspeler Rabah Slimani op die bank. Die huidige Bok-afrigter, Rassie Erasmus, sê spelers moet onthou hulle kan Bok-erkenning kry as hulle vandag goed speel. Afskop is vanaand om ses-uur. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die Bulle se hoof, Willem Strauss, gepraat:

On this episode, Christian Schauf, the founder of Uncharted Supply Co, takes us inside the growth of his uniquely focused and positioned company, and the mission and ethos that has been at the core of their success.   Unlike a lot of the First Aid or preparedness products available today, Christian isn't just throwing a bunch of shit in a pouch and calling it a survival kit. He takes a very intentional approach to how he designs and sources all the products under the Uncharted Supply umbrella, and with a distinct focus on the hunting and outdoor community, he's helping all of us be better prepared and capable when things don't go as planned.  NOTABLE QUOTES:   “A hundred band-aids never saved a life.”  @unchartedsupplyco  @christianschauf  ---------------------------  DEALS & OFFERS:  Get FREE SHIPPING from Spartan Precision Equipment with code BTK25 and be sure to check out their new Springbok line of products.  OnX Maps is now available in Canada!

Springbok-afrigter Rassie Erasmus sê hy sal voortgaan met sy span-rotasiebeleid. In 2024 het hy 50 spelers in 13 toetswedstryde gebruik en 12 nuwelinge ingespan. Erasmus het nege nuwelinge in sy groep van 55 vir die kragmeting teen die Barbarians op 28 Junie en toetse teen Italië en Georgië in Julie. Hy sê hulle wil iets soortgelyk aan verlede jaar doen waar die senior spelers en sommige van die jonger spelers ʼn bydrae op die veld lewer:

Die Namibië Inkomsteagentskap, NamRA, het reageer op Oranjemund-inwoners se toenemende kommer oor die 16,5 persent doeane-belasting op kruideniersware en toiletware wat in die naburige Suid-Afrika aangekoop is. Inwoners van die dorp steek gereeld die grens oor om in Springbok inkopies te gaan doen, weens hul beperkte plaaslike kleinhandelopsies. Steven Ndorokaze, NamRA se woordvoerder, het aan Kosmos 94.1 Nuus verduidelik.

Die opdrafspan van die Springbok-vroue wat Uganda 62-7 verslaan het, bly onveranderd vir hulle Rugby Afrikabeker-kragmeting met Kenia vandag in Antananarivo, Madagaskar. Die afrigters sê hulle wil momentum behou. Die enigste verandering is op die bank waar die losvoorspeler Nompumelelo Mathe die agterspeler Nomawethu Mabenge vervang. Patience Mokone, wat twee drieë teen Uganda gedruk het in haar eerste wedstryd vir die Bokke, sê Kenia sal 'n moeilike uitdaging wees:

Rugby: Die Springbok-vroue se veelsydige voorspeler, Lerato Makua, sê sy is vasbeslote om 'n impak te maak in die Afrika-vrouebeker in Madagaskar wat Saterdag begin. Suid-Afrika wil hulle titel teen Uganda, Kenia en die gasvroue Madagaskar by die Stade Makis in Antananarivo verdedig. Makua, wat na 'n kniebesering terugkeer, sê dit is 'n geleentheid vir haar om te wys dat sy fiks en gereed is om later vanjaar in die Wêreldbeker te speel:

Jaden Hendrikse sent the rugby world into meltdown over the weekend for his wink at Jack Crowley. Was the Springbok scrum-half genuinely injured or not? There is plenty for Chris, Ashy and Ugo to debate, including the fine line between gamesmanship and bad sportsmanship. Ashy and Ugo share their own tales of opponents winking at them on the pitch and the times they overstepped the mark on the rugby pitch. We also look ahead to a bumper weekend of semi-finals in the Premiership and URC. Plus, Sarries legend Alex Goode joins us to reflect on his wonderful career, tells us what's next and gives Ashy grief for not naming him player of the match in his final game!

Hoewel die Haaie die Europese Uitdaagbeker gewen het, het hulle nie veel welslae behaal in die Verenigde Rugbykampioenskap nie. Hulle het verlede seisoen in die 14de plek op die punteleer afgesluit. Die Durbanse span berei voor vir Saterdag se kwarteindstryd teen die Ierse span Munster op Kingspark in Durban. Die Haaie se kaptein, die Springbok-ster Eben Etzebeth, sê hulle verwag 'n moeilike wedstryd ondanks hulle tuisveld-voordeel:

La photo est en couverture des journaux en Afrique du Sud : on y voit le président américain Donald Trump et son homologue sud-africain, Cyril Ramaphosa, assis sur les fauteuils jaunes du Bureau ovale de la Maison-Blanche, devant les journalistes et les caméras. Et à voir leurs mouvements de mains, la discussion est animée…Le quotidien sud-africain Cape Times relate la scène : « Ramaphosa est arrivé en disant qu'il voulait discuter du commerce et des minerais rares. La réunion a débuté de manière cordiale. Trump et lui ont commencé à discuter golf. D'ailleurs, deux champions de golf sud-africains Ernie Els et Retief Goosen étaient présents dans la délégation de Ramaphosa. Mais la réunion a rapidement tourné au vinaigre, pointe Cape Times. Trump a montré une vidéo et des documents, comme prétendues preuves de ses affirmations infondées selon lesquelles les Sud-Africains blancs seraient persécutés et leurs terres confisquées ».Des allégations déjà formulées par le président américain ces derniers mois et démenties par l'Afrique du Sud. Cyril Ramaphosa s'est défendu, a démenti une nouvelle fois…Mais, constate le Mail & Guardian, autre média sud-africain, « les discussions commerciales ont été reléguées au second plan ».Et Cape Times de parler de véritable « embuscade tendue par Trump, comme celle dont avait été victime le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky, en février dernier ».Trop timoré ?The Star, autre quotidien sud-africain s'en prend à… Cyril Ramaphosa. « L'occasion ratée de Ramaphosa de repositionner l'Afrique du Sud comme centre d'affaires stratégique de l'Afrique », titre le journal. The Star qui dénonce « l'inertie diplomatique » du président sud-africain : « Ramaphosa a manqué une occasion en or : celle de rétablir les faits avec fermeté et audace. Il ne s'agissait pas seulement de dire la vérité sur les statistiques de la criminalité rurale ou la réforme agraire. Il s'agissait de dire au monde ce qu'est l'Afrique du Sud aujourd'hui – et, plus important encore, ce qu'elle aspire à être. L'Afrique du Sud ne s'effondre pas sous les violences raciales, s'exclame The Star. Elle abrite en réalité plus de 600 entreprises américaines prospères dans divers secteurs, de la finance à l'énergie, en passant par l'industrie manufacturière et les technologies de l'information. Elle abrite les marchés financiers les plus performants du continent africain et un système judiciaire qui, bien qu'imparfait, demeure indépendant et respecté. Pourtant, rien de tout cela n'a été exprimé sous les projecteurs du monde entier ».Il est vrai que Cyril Ramaphosa s'est défendu mollement, pointe Le Monde Afrique à Paris : « il a tenté de désamorcer la charge explosive de Trump de façon indirecte, par le sourire, par l'évocation de Nelson Mandela et de la diversité de la coalition au pouvoir. Il a évoqué la Constitution, protégeant les droits de tout propriétaire terrien. Il n'a pas nié l'ampleur de la criminalité qui ravage l'Afrique du Sud. Mais il n'a pas pris une position de principe nette, pour nier tout génocide des Afrikaners et appeler ce mensonge par son nom. Par moments, il se frottait les paumes des mains, ne sachant plus quoi faire pour défendre l'honneur national sans aggraver la situation ».Des faits travestis…Le Monde Afrique répond également aux allégations de Donald Trump qui a été jusqu'à parler, donc, de génocide : « les meurtres dans les fermes isolées sont une réalité en Afrique du Sud, reconnait le journal. Mais ils ne représentent qu'une fraction des homicides perpétrés dans le pays, l'un des plus violents au monde. Plus de 27 000 personnes ont ainsi été tuées entre mars 2023 et mars 2024. Par comparaison, en moyenne, au cours de la décennie écoulée, une cinquantaine de meurtres ont lieu chaque année dans des fermes. Parmi les victimes, des agriculteurs blancs, mais pas exclusivement. De nombreux travailleurs agricoles ou des vigiles noirs comptent également parmi les victimes ».Commentaire du Monde Afrique : « toutefois, la réalité, dans ses nuances, a peu de chances de pénétrer le monde MAGA ».Springbok vs pitbull…Enfin, L'Observateur Paalga au Burkina caricature les deux présidents avec cette formule : « le springbok et le pitbull de la Maison-Blanche ».L'Observateur qui n'est guère surpris : « les sujets qui fâchent étaient si nombreux qu'on se demande comment le président sud-africain aurait pu s'y prendre pour déminer ce terrain quand on connaît la brutalité avec laquelle Donald Trump imprime ses relations avec les autres pays. Mais comme avec le locataire de la Maison-Blanche, tout finit toujours autour du transactionnel, Ramaphosa n'aura pas d'autres choix que de lui offrir des facilités dans l'exploitation des minerais rares (diamant, manganèse, platine…) dont le pays de Mandela regorge ».

Kaptein Nolusindiso Booi maak Saterdag geskiedenis wanneer sy die eerste Springbok-vrouespeler word wat in 50 toetse uitgedraf het.

Springbok sewes-afrigter Philip Snyman is vol vertroue dat die Blitsbokke sterk in Singapoer sal terugkom na 'n teleurstellende negende plek in Hongkong.

This is episode 202, the sounds you hear are the sounds made by wagons rolling across the veld — because we're going to join the trekkers who've mostly stopped trekking. For the trekkers, the promised land was at hand. The high veld, parts of Marico, the northern Limpopo region, the Waterberg, the slopes of the Witwatersrand into the lowveld, the Free State with its rocky outcrops and vastness, the dusty transOrangia. In the Caledon Valley, Moshoeshoe was monitoring the Dutch speakers who were now speaking a combination of languages, morphing the taal into Afrikaans. Further east, King Mpande kaSenzangakona of the Zulu had been keeping an eye on the colonial developments while indulging in expansion policies of his own. This period, 1854 and 1855, is like a fulcrum between epochs. The previous lifestyle of southern Africa, pastoral and rural, was running its final course, the final decade before precious mineral discoveries were going to change everything. Let's just stand back for a moment to observe the world, before we plunge back into the going's on in the Boer Republics. Momentous events had shaken Europe, a succession of revolutions which had somehow swept around Britain but never swept Britain away. This is more prescient than it appears. These revolutions are forgotten now, they're an echo but in the echo we hear the future. The 1848-1855 revolutions were precipitated by problems of imperial overload in Europe. Liberal nationalism was also sweeping the world, and the American constitution was on everyone's lips. Copies of the American Constitution were cropping up in the oddest places. Like the back of Boer ox wagons and inside the churches, alongside the Bibles. American missionary Daniel Lindley who you heard about in our earlier episodes, the man from Ohio who had started out life in south Africa as a missionary based near Mzilikazi of the amaNdebele's great place near Marico. He had copies distributed to the Boers. This is important. There is a direct link between the American constitution, South African concepts of what democratic rights were, which you could then track all the way to the 1994 New Constitution after apartheid. Schoemansdal, to the north, and the basis of ivory trade, was much bigger and richer than Potch. The Schoemansdalers looked down their noses at the Potchefstroomers — it was an ancient Biblical pose — it was hunters and shepherds versus farmers, Cain versus Abel. The clash between settled and nomadic societies. One of the dirty little secrets of South African life in the mid-19th Century was how successfully these new arrivals in the north, the trekkers, had decimated the elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, crocodile, and hippo populations. Schoemansdal was living on borrowed time. The story begins with a hunting party seeking white gold — ivory. An elephant hunt. It also begins with a massacre, and ends with a siege of a cave. The Nyl Rivier was always disputed territory, particularly since chief Makapan and Mankopane, otherwise known as Mapela - Nyl means Nile and the Boers had renamed this river for all sorts of important resonant reasons. This river is a tributary of the Limpopo and it is located in the northern part of the Springbok flats.There are two main versions of what happened, and I'm going to relate both, then we shall try to extricate fact from fiction. This episode will deal with the initial events, and next episode we shall conclude the saga with it's terrifying cave fighting and ultimate South African symbolism. The Langa and Kekana people first experienced trekkers in 1837 when Louis Trichardt entered their territory — from then on a steady trickle of trekkers could be found inside Langa and Kekana territory. The area we're focusing on is close to where the town of Potgietersrus would be founded, the modern day town of Mokopane. We can begin to connect our histories here. Makapan, Mokopane, Mankopane, Potgieter.
