PRESS RELEASE

A U G U S T 2017
Pilanesberg Game Breeders hereby wish to inform our Facebook friends, clients, loyal supporters and
fellow game breeders that Marius Roothman, renowned game rancher and businessman has decided
to step down as Chairperson of PGB, mainly for the reason that he wishes to lead the PGB client unit
which ably assist, support and inform buyers as well as fellow breeders regarding establishing and
enhancing their breeding projects.

Him and his wife, Brenda are looking forward to this engagement, especially as PGB pride themselves
on giving access and entertain newly entrants as well as established ranchers to the game industry by
offering excellent quality animals at very affordable prices.

This being a long term vision, that will reap rewards and that PGB are very proud of, as this vision
empowers fellow breeders to capitalize and be awarded excellent return on their investment in the
short and medium term.

Under the leadership of Marius Roothman and Piet du Toit, ably assisted by Alfrancois Henning
(SA Stud Game), Philip Haasbroek (Morningside Game Breeders) and Werner Oosthuizen
(Tebalja Safaris), PGB held highly successful auctions with the latest being on 4th May 2017
where phenomenal specimens were sold for very rational and fair prices.

A U G U S T 2017

Frans Schutte (snr) of Cottondale Game Ranch has been elected as Chairperson and has vowed to
honour the legacy, vision and mission of Pilanesberg Game Breeders.

The well known sound principal of VALUE FOR MONEY is as applicable in the game industry as in any
other industry.

PGB therefore encourages fellow breeders to do their research properly and listen to sound
uncompromised advise like:-
Top quality need not come at an excessive price.
The industry is swarming with examples where magnificent animals were bred from animals that are
regarded, by a few, as so called average animals.
The same industry is also filled with examples where magnificent animals were discovered on
extensive platforms.
It is definitely possible to establish yourself as a successful specialist breeder in a short time.

As Dr Mathews Phosa, member of PGB, advised game ranchers earlier this year:-
Stay the course!
Byt vas!
Stay involved!
Alles sal regkom.

Please note that the 5th annual auction of

Pilanesberg Game Breeders in association
with Buffalo Cup Invitational
to be held in 2018, will be a birthday bash extraordinaire.

It is GAME ON!
We will keep you posted.
