He was my tracker and I thought I saw that he was let go during the labor problems. I hope he ended up getting work somewhere else. As the senior tracker, he certainly has experience.

Lynn,

I will try to find out. He is the only tracker I have ever had at MalaMala on my various visits. My oldest daughter has a picture of John (Snoop Dog) on her facebook page!

Lynn,

Still working on this.

John Khoza, John Sibuye, and John Sithole all left with the strike and all were trackers. I think you are speaking of the older gentleman who had been there about 30 years?

Yes, the 30-year veteran, Snoop Dog. He also had the nickname Gahmma (Martial Eagle) because of his good eyes. Thanks for pursuing this.

I have the answer Lynn but I can't post it here as it seems impersonal. Just email me when you get a chance.
