On the news it was reported that a 35 year old farmer from the Waterberg Region in the Limpopo province was killed by a Buffalo. He was hunting with a client when the Buffalo stormed and killed him. He died on the spot. It was not clear from the news report if they were hunting Buffalo or not. It was also not mentioned if it was a wounded Buffalo or not.
My condolences to the Steenkamp family.

According to info posted by Kathi in happened in Thabazimbi. The farmer was hunting with a friend at night, when the buff attacked. It sure is very sad

Just shows cape buffalo are dangerous and not to be taken lightly.
One hunter once said, when hunting in country with DG carry a rifle suitable for what you might encounter.
I remember being in Bubiana Conservancy and all we had was a .30-06 and .338 (the PH). Elephant, black and white rhino there, perhaps buffalo, certainly all three were on Sondelani where we also hunted.
The bufffalo would be far and few at Thabazimbi I would have thought???

No it is not Gerard Steenkamp as far as I know. If I am correct Gerard only have daughters. I did my ph course with Gerhard.
The farmer that was killed was 35 years old.
