Information day on share interests between Farmers and Hunters
Farmers and hunters’ share interests in firearm ownership, shooting skills, conservation and hunting were recently under the spotlight at a joint information day near Grootvlei. Three branches of SA Hunters (Duiker, Heidelberg and Suikerbosrand) and three farmers’ associations (Bloekomspruit, Suikerbos and Grootvlei) hosted the information day on 18 March. SA Hunters CEO Basie Bergh informed guests about the latest developments in firearms legislation. The association’s deputy president, Glen Matthews, spoke about shooting matters and the services provided by the firearms licence helpline. Lizanne Nel, conservation manager, gave a presentation on hunting-related matters and conservation. Lively discussions followed around the braai fires and everyone agreed that greater liaison between farmers’ associations and SA Hunters branches should definitely be built on to promote shared interests.
SA Hunters Presidents Knives series
SA Hunters has a limited stock of the President’s Series knives, crafted according to the preferences of former presidents of the association. The handles are made from ivory or camelthorn wood. The knives in this range are exceptional collector’s and functional items, showcasing the finest craftsmanship. Stock includes knives made to the specifications of André van Dyk, Kassie Kasselman, Dr. Gerhard Verdoorn, Prof. Pottie Potgieter, and Peet van Zyl. Enquire about price and availability at Dorothy Els.
Magazines digital
The delivery of the printed version of SA Jagter/Hunter and Man Magnum via the Post Office has completely collapsed.
In July 2025, SA Hunters conducted an opinion poll in the magazines to determine whether readers would be willing to read the magazine in digital format. It was encouraging that more members than expected participated in the survey, of whom 75% indicated that they are amenable to the magazine in digital format.
For the alternative options, please contact Michel at our offices.

SAHGCA supports CITES quotas for export of hunting trophies
SA Hunters commented on the allocation of the 2026 and 2027 CITES export quotas for 300 tusks from up to 150 elephants, 12 black rhinoceros hunting trophies, and 11 leopard hunting trophies, as published for comment in February. The public notice did not provide details on how the quotas have been determined. Therefore, we scrutinised available data, scientific publications and information from CITES processes on the three species and reached the conclusion that the proposed CITES quotas for the three species can be supported. The full report is available here.
Drafting of wellbeing regulations premature
SA Hunters regards the process for drafting wellbeing regulations under NEMBA as premature and meaningless, given that a final ruling by the Constitutional Court on the merits of the challenge remains outstanding. Nevertheless, SA Hunters did submit its views on this matter to the authorities as requested. Read more.
Norms and Standards to be developed for private land contributing to conservation
Landowners who manage their land in ways that contribute to long-term conservation can register their land as Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs). These geographically defined areas do not have to be formally declared as protected reserves. SA Hunters provided input to DFFE on proposed norms and standards intended to guide this process. Various land types, including grazing lands and game farms, may qualify. Read more.
