#15 Tribute to Anton Mzimba - Head of Timbavati Ranger Services

11 February 1980 - 26 July 2022

It is with deep sadness that the conservation community mourns the loss of Mr. Anton Mzimba, Head of Timbavati Ranger Services. Anton was shot and killed outside his home last night. This follows recent death threats that have become a regular occurrence for high-ranking members of the anti-poaching community in South Africa.

Anton dedicated 25 years of his life to the Timbavati, the Greater Kruger and the broader conservation community in South Africa.

The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve has released a fitting tribute to Anton which can be read by clicking on the button below.
