An annual fundraising golf tournament, coordinated, hosted and sponsored by Zimbabwean hospitality group Africa Albida Tourism, has raised $30,000 to boost the war on poaching in the Victoria Falls region. The total amount raised at the Victoria Falls Anti-Poaching Unit (VFAPU) Golf Day at Borrowdale Brooke Golf Club on September 21 was $25, 809, and an anonymous donor gave $1,500 before Africa Albida Tourism (AAT) added $2691 to make it up to $30,000.
VFAPU head of operations Charles Brightman applauded the fantastic effort and thanked everyone involved, saying the funds raised would go a long way towards covering the unit’s operational costs.
Said, Brightman:
Without the support, VFAPU would have been unable to prevent the potential poaching of dozens of elephants, recently, when the scouts discovered 39 cyanide-laced oranges in the Zambezi National Park, left to kill elephants for their ivory
