River of gold: Narratives and exploration of the Great Limpopo

English

By (author): Clive Walker Mike Gardner Peter Norton

In this most exquisitely designed book, rich with photographs and story, the authors explore the Limpopo Rivers history, its ancient past, wildlife, landscapes, early kingdoms and their people, warfare, trade, slaves, 19th-century hunting, travel and adventures and the conservation efforts of four national parks of which the renowned Kruger National Park is one.

The book (and the river) encompasses two world heritage sites, two Transfrontier conservation areas, private game reserves, some of the richest rock art sites in southern Africa with the rivers source centred at the site of the worlds richest gold deposits ever discovered, Johannesburg. This publication comes at a critical time with the growing concern for the countrys water resources, threats to our rivers, wetlands and catchment areas, loss of municipal water through aging infrastructure and contamination through sewage outflow.

About Clive WalkerMike GardnerPeter Norton

Mike Gardner's career in the tourism business started in 1967 when he was appointed as assistant to the director of FEDHASA - the Federated Hotel Associations of South Africa. He acquired various diplomas and certificates in advanced tourism studies and in 1970 he applied for and was successful in being appointed as the chief marketing and development office of the then Rhodesia National Tourist Board. He rose quite swiftly to the post of director of tourism and somehow helped to steer the tourism industry through the difficult bush war years in a relatively intact condition. In 1985 they moved to a village near Magoebaskloof and established a tourism research development and marketing company that still operates today. Mike has explored many wild places in Zimbabwe Venda and Limpopo Province and he was quick to accept the invitation to become a co-author of the proposed book on the Limpopo river. Peter Norton has worked as a widely respected ecologist deeply rooted in the South African bush. His research spans klipspringer Cape mountain leopard and mountain reedbuck among many others. After working as a scientist and researcher for conservation for 20 years Peter became one of the early people working in ecotourism in the Northern and Eastern Cape Transkei and in the northern provinces of South Africa. He coordinated for Mapungubwe to be a World Heritage Site as well as the Cradle of humankind Limpopo Transfrontier park and urban tourism in Soweto. Clive Walker is well known for his work in rhino conservation. He is the author of The rhino keepers (Jacana 2012) He founded the Endangered Wildlife Trust in 1973.
