that tembe tusker iSilo is amazing.....

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Isilo has tusks estimated to be 2.8 m, and weigh about 65 kg. Isilo, at approximately 60 years of age, is now an old gentleman, but still impressive, one of the largest tuskers in South Africa, some scientists agree he may be the largest in the world.
He won't be around for many more years, so hurry up and pay him a visit 0' .

These are my dad's pics taken in the 1980s.

This one was in the Phelwana Spruit on the H7. My dad thought it was Phelwane, and Aat has confirmed it. ;-)

This one was seen in the Tshokwane area. Looks a bit like Mandhevhu? -O-
