On Patrol with the Black Mambas in South Africa
Published
In the South African Olifants West Nature Reserve, ranger Vongani Masingi works as part of the Black Mambas, a group of female rangers who protect wildlife.
The Black Mambas are a unit that fights poaching. The rangers monitor large areas, watch for traces left by poachers, and protect animals such as elephants, rhinoceroses and lions. The work is exhausting and often dangerous, because the teams are out for long periods and operate in remote regions.
The report centres on ranger Vongani Masingi. She guides readers through the protected area and explains her team's tasks. The text is brief, and many further details about the patrols, the number of operations or the results are not mentioned in the published summary.
For readers in Switzerland, the report is above all an insight into nature conservation in Africa. It shows what work lies behind the protection of wildlife and how important the commitment of women in this field is.
