"From the people perspective, Rex and Siphiwe are still 100% a part of WE! I know that you have been worried about this, and I would be too.
Siphiwe is coming back to work towards the end of March and will be 'zooming' the waterhole camera between safaris as per normal. Her daughter is soooo beautiful and growing like a weed. I am sure that you will see her (and her mom) in the new Final Control later this month.
Rexon, on the other hand, you will not see much of. He has become a 'big man' in his village of Dixie. In fact he has changed the course of history in South Africa. Our very own Rexon through his tireless work on behalf of his community has influenced the constitution of South Africa to respect the property rights of the down trodden.
A ruling has been passed down that the land is for the benefit of all, and cannot be controlled by the traditional leaders to the detriment of the individuals. In addition, Rexon has been a key player in the group who won a landmark case in the land claims court in favor of the Dixie community over the Manyaleti Reserve, to the north of the Sabi Sands.
As I write this mail, Rex is leading a delegation of 15 elders in Johannesburg where he is trying to get the constitutional court to pass the power to 'control' this land from the tradiotnal leadership to the people. This is a very important and groundbreaking development in the history of the people of South Africa.
Amandla!! (Power to the people)
So to cut a long story short, Rex is moving to a higher plain. His calling will be to empower his people, and WE will support him 100%! He may show up on our channel from time to time, and he will certainly be behind the scenes. Whenever you see an increase in our traversing area, or read of rural people being empowered to control their own destiny, there you will feel Rex's hand. He is still an employee of WE, and is working with me on some very exciting developments that cannot yet be shared, but I assure you involve more and more of what you love ... LIVE wildlife.
He has been my friend for the past 10 years. He has been there through some difficult and 'weird' times, when friends were few and times were tough. He will remain a part of WE until he needs to fly free to change the world.
