With a two-year live auction break due to Covid-19, it was heart-warming to experience true Karoo hospitality again when I attended the 7th annual Summit Wildlife Auction near Graaff-Reinet recently. Although auction apps and telephone bidding are the norm these days, this auction will always stand out as a community-orientated event known for its top genetics and high prices.

As of late, there has been great controversy regarding the fundamental question, “Can you use a Section 16 firearm for self-defence?” Christophe Roelofse tackles this complex issue head-on.
