well unless this " past president of SABBA and the next incoming president of PHASA " is a licensed PH in Zimbabwe, then he's still 'bending' the rules to meet his personal needs. or his clients are being charged thousands extra for him to accompany them for a safari outfitted by Zimbabwean companies, which is the normal practice for the 'honest' unlicensed South African outfitters hunting in Zim.
in fairness, some clients are ok with that in the interest of expediency.
either way, the elephants are getting screwed.
