After COVID-19 misfire, hunting season beckons again

In times past, groups of men would depart before dawn from the cattle posts on hunting excursions, indulging in a practice as old as humankind. Using skills inherited from their forebears and polished by cattle herders, the teams would diligently track their targets, often spending days if the species were particularly adept at avoiding humans.

“If the purpose of the trip was for seshabo (relish), the trip would be short, probably a day,” reminisces Thabo ‘Base’ Mokobi.
