Love the Hoed ® Titbits

  Kruger2Canyon News is not fully in the know about the condition and status a young resident of our town, Troy Matthysen. Suffice to say that his plight and that of his family have been brought to our attention by a concerned resident of Hoedspruit. That person sent us a message that Troy, amongst other conditions that he is bravely fighting, now has a lesion at the base of his skull. He must undergo a very serious operation to stop the brain fluid from leaking. His Father was waiting for feedback from the neurologist at the time of writing.

  The plea is simply to keep Troy front of mind in your thoughts and prayers, and should you wish to contribute financially, that assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let’s stand together Hoedspruit and help this young man.

  For further information as to how you can help, call Gerhard on 082 076 0694. Our prayers are with you Troy.

He talked his way into staying anyway.

I have watched countless breeding herds of African elephant consisting of a senior cow, elder females and younger cows, all the way down to juveniles of both sexes – the young males are banished from their natal herd around their early teens – yet I’m ever fascinated by the quality of synchronised attention this matriarchal sisterhood constantly pay to one another.
