I'd like to meet:Introducing The Chairman of the Board Mr Johnny Rodriguez JOHNNY RODRIGUES Johnny was born in Santa Cruz, Madeira in 1949 and moved to Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) at the age of 5, where he grew up on a farm in Zimbabwe. He became fluent in the African languages and fully conversant with the African customs at a very young age.By 1974, the liberation war was under way in Zimbabwe and Johnny was asked to join the Selous Scouts. He remained with them for the duration of the war. When Robert Mugabe won the elections in 1980, all the Selous Scouts were told to leave the country immediately and the South Africans took advantage of the situation by recruiting them for their Special Forces to assist in their war.Johnny and Cheryl and their two small daughters, Lorraine and Brigitte, moved to the army camp in Phalaborwa, South Africa where Johnny served the South African army for the following 5 years. Their son, Shane was born in South Africa in 1983. By 1985, they heard that things in Zimbabwe had calmed down quite a bit and being homesick, they decided to go home.Johnny started a garage in Zimbabwe, repairing vehicles and the business thrived for the next 10 years, enabling him to educate his children and keep food on the table. However, the economic situation in Zimbabwe started deteriorating in 1995 and the business was suffering so he decided to buy a 30 ton truck and start a transport company.In 2000, Johnny had a spate of bad luck. Although the company was doing quite well, it was not doing well enough to pay the exorbitant insurance premiums on the trucks so when one truck was written off in an accident and another was hijacked in South Africa and never recovered, he was not able to replace them. Around that time the land invasions began and he started hearing about the slaughter of the wildlife. He was extremely concerned that one day there would be no animals left in Zimbabwe so he started the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force to try and preserve the wildlife.Johnny has been running the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force since its inception in 2001, using donations from concerned people to relocate animals under threat, to buy veterinary medication, to remove snares from animals and to expose the ongoing atrocities to the rest of the world. He is in desperate need of funds to continue with this work... .. .... |

Television:How to Donate to ZCTF- There are a couple of ways to do this, One is contacting the Chairman Directly, as some may wish to do so. Also there is a pay pal account set up, You may wish to visit the art site and donate that way and our purchase the CD. Either way every little bit helps! How will your money be used? Here are some examples from our daily work.$350 USD: 1 vial of M99 plus reversal drug. This is the tranquilizer used during any snare removal and treatment of any animal. 1 vial can treat 3 elephants or rhinos, or 6 smaller animals. This drug is the most important thing we use because we can't do anything at all without it.$500 USD: Tranquilize a lion, remove snare and administer antibiotics.$750 USD: Remove snare from a rhino, administer antibiotics, including tranquilizer and reversal.$3,000 USD: Tranquilize 160 sable antelope and treat overgrown infected hooves.$3,000 USD: Helicopter time and game capture of 7 zebra and 13 impala and relocate to a safe areaWe have recently taken under our wings 3 baby Black Rhinos They currently need 200kg of milk & 100kg of glucose. Providing better protection from poachers for them. Anti-poaching program- stopping and preventing illegal poachers from crossing into Zambia where tusks are sold on black market, and anywhere else we can catch them killing Wildlife. New signs at Kariba Park- to prevent what happened to Tusker educating people on the out come of feeding wildlife when they visit Africa. Building a memorial Statue for front of Kariba Park, to honor his memory and life. |
