To raise awareness and funds for the plight of the rhino, Swaziland's Royal Jozini Big 6 Game Development is taking the concept of open water swimming to a whole new level. The general manager of Royal Jozini Big 6 Game Development has pledged to swim across Jozini Dam at the South African-Swaziland border across 2.5 km of open water inhabitated by wildlife such as hippo, crocodiles and tiger fish.

A group of 9 cyclists are hoping to ride the length of the Lubombo Mountain range between 6th and 10th July 2014. The aim of the ride is to highlight the role of the Eco Lubombo trans-frontier Conservancy that seeks to preserve the majestic Lubombo Mountains in the three countries of Mozambique, Swaziland and Republic of South Africa. This event will be covered in the Swazi press and we hope it will be a springboard for public discussion and support for the initiative.
