@ ALL
Sad news : Tusker NWANEDZI has died recently. Nwanedzi lived in the Letaba area. I met this promising tusker once , just outside Letaba camp where he was posing nicely.
Nwanedzi was on my Tusker site long time before Sanparks recognized him and gave him the name Gida-Gida. I did not copied this name ever at my site...
Another Tusker gone.... so let's try to get more new promising ones we can follow over the years.
RIP Nwanedzi

This is Mavatsani.
Hey Aat, guess the better part of your job is to see
them come and go. We all live with this,...well
disposition if at all it could be somewhat comforting!!
AAAt, recognize this one????

Dear mr H Erectus,
Please , next time stay a bit longer with the tuskers to get decent pictures.
With this kind of "shot" you are asking me who it is..... pffffffff a shame....

but yessss... I know his name so I can confirm I recognized him , that was your question isn't it ?
His name is Mavatsani , have a good look at the lower part of his left earlobe... you see the big notch ?
A guy named Richprins photographed this tusker but does not recognize him.... hmmmmmmmmm
You have seen one of the bigger tuskers at the moment , great sighting
