Photo Of The Month - Waiting in the Water

May 1959: Rupert Fothergill, Senior Game Ranger, and an assistant, are seen standing on the submerged branches of a tree which has been very nearly covered by the rising waters of Lake Kariba, while they wait for the rescue boat to pick them up. Fothergill is holding a Hyrax, locally known as a "Dassie" or "Rock Rabbit", which he has just rescued.

Gosh,

All this is so very important to save and restore and thankfully, we have your connection to Rupert and passion for his memory and work.

They tell more than just a story and form part and parcel of the total Rhodesian/Zimbabwean history!!

They should be compiled on a DVD format, as your audiance will prove more than just wild life lovers, for sure.

Great work,

Robert Burnett

Greetings and salutations!
I am seriously interested in this. I am from Rhodesia and I remember the wonderful work carried out by Rupert Fothergill and his team, this is the stuff of legend and needs to be preserved.
I will follow with interest.
