Bloemfontein - The Professional Hunter’s Association of SA (PHASA) is eagerly awaiting the outcome of a meeting between the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA)and South African Airway’s (SAA) to find out whether the airline will reverse its decision on banning the shipment of certain hunting trophies.
PHASA Chief Executive Adri Kitshoff says the emotional decision announced earlier this year by SAA has far reaching consequences for the entire hunting value chain, as well as tourism, the country’s economy and conservation:
