The coal mine near Ellisras just purchased a new "dozer". They parked it in front of the mine entrance for people to see.

Brandon holding a tusk from the 2nd largest elephant ever shot in Mozambique ... SERIOUSLY! Our friend Pieter was employed to create clamps for the end of the two tusks because they were starting to crack. The elephant was shot by a Spaniard that owns a game farm in South Africa.
Dillon (Denise and Pieter's grandson) showing just how big the tusk really is.
The details of the tusks are engraved on them. This one weighs 33 kilos (about 73 pounds)!!
