𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 & 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀.

We extend our heartfelt wishes to all the fathers this Father’s Day.

You teach us far more than how to track, aim, and conserve. You instill discipline, responsibility, patience, integrity, and respect for the land, for wildlife, and for one another. The values you pass on in the field become the standards we uphold throughout our industry and communities.

Thank you for shaping the next generation of ethical hunters, responsible sportsmen and women, and dedicated stewards of our wildlife heritage. Through your guidance, wisdom, and example, you help secure the future of conservation for generations to come.

May your day be filled with the love of family, meaningful reflection, and the quiet pride that comes from a life of leadership, sacrifice, and purpose.

Happy Father’s Day.

Today we honour the bravery of the youth of 1976. Their courage reminds us that we too are bound to leave our mark.

To the youth of SABHSSA: You are the future of conservation, responsible resource use, and responsible firearm ownership. Keep learning, lead with integrity, and remember that your ethical compliance matters. The standards you set today will define our heritage tomorrow.

The challenges ahead need ethical leaders, skilled marksmen, and conservationists who care deeply about South Africa’s biodiversity and heritage. That future starts with you.

From all of us at the South African Black Hunters & Sport Shooting Association (SABHSSA) - your growth, your voice, and your future matters. We stand with you.

As part of our exco engagements in Limpopo Province, South Africa this past week, members of the executive committee took time to visit the Polokwane Shooting Centre.

The visit provided an opportunity for team members to spend time at the shooting range, sharpening their skills while strengthening relationships beyond the boardroom.

The experience fostered teamwork, camaraderie, and meaningful engagement in a relaxed environment.

Moments like these continue to reinforce the importance of building strong connections as we work together to advance the vision and objectives of SABHSSA.

💡𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: Careers Corner – “Women Making an Impact in Conservation and Hunting”

📻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Radio Turf 103.8 FM

We invite all members to tune in and show your support for this important conversation.

Women play an important role in hunting and conservation.

Their involvement strengthens wildlife management, promotes ethical and sustainable practices, and helps nurture the next generation of conservation leaders.

By participating in the sector, women bring valuable skills and perspectives that support conservation efforts, food security, and the responsible use of natural resources. Increased participation also creates opportunities for skills development, hunting tourism, and economic growth that benefit local communities.

In South Africa, hunting is a regulated privilege governed by legislation and industry standards, making responsible participation essential to the sustainability of the sector.

SABHSSA invites women who are interested in hunting, wildlife management, conservation, or who simply have a passion for wildlife to become members in good standing.
