What I didn’t realise at the time, was that I was seeing four of only 500 individual African Wild Dogs left in the wild in Namibia. A photo posted by Andrew Watkinson (@andrewwatkinsonsmith) on . The moment on our first morning at the source lake of the Cuito River that we knew everything we are doing out here and fighting to achieve is all so important! 2 days ago we interviewed Soba (Chief) Manuel of Samboano village, 60km from the Cuito source lake, and when we showed him a picture of African Painted Wild Dogs he very surprisingly and calmly said there were many in this area and they see them often. I could not believe this, and was hoping with all hopes that we would be able to maybe capture a record of a Wild dog on one of our 45 camera traps that we are setting up. Not in my wildest dreams would I expect what happen this morning! I was in my tent and I started hearing shouts of "Wild Dog, Wild Dog" and commotion around camp. I stick my head out of the tent and with disbelief I see 4 Wild Dogs 200m away across the lake on a duiker (small antelope) that they had just killed! Within 10 minutes they had finished their meal and headed off! Proof that a critically endangered African canid has a home in these upper reaches of the Okavango catchment, and even more reason to protect this area and connect them to populations further south through conservation! I'm shaking I'm still so excited!

Belamant, who founded the company 27 years ago, will quit at the end of the month rather than retiring next year to allow changes at the company and partly due “to the views expressed by certain of the company’s shareholders”, Net1 said in a statement. Net1’s biggest shareholders are the World’s Bank’s International Finance Corporation and Cape Town’s Allan Gray. Both have been critical of Belamant and the company. “This will make it easier to move forward with the corporate governance issues that have been highlighted,” Andrew Lapping, chief investment officer of Allan Gray, said by phone. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction.” Net1 won a contract in 2012 to distribute welfare in South Africa. Two years later the Constitutional Court ruled the contract invalid and instructed the South African Social Security Agency to find a new provider. When it failed to do so by March this year, the court allowed the contract to be extended until 2018 under stringent conditions. Net1 has been accused by human rights organisations of selling goods and services to South Africa’s poorest and least educated, ranging from loans to mobile phone time without explaining them adequately and by improperly using information gleaned from its grant distribution activity. It has denied the allegations. Belamant attracted criticism for his conduct and public comments. In August last year he said in a conference call about a court case over deductions from grants that “between you and me and a bar of soap, I don’t really care what it means. It’s not going to make any difference to how much money we’re going to make.” He will provide consultant services to Net1 for 2 years.
