The following statistics about the South African hunting industry
were released by Dr Herman Els and are available at www.
africanhuntinginfo.com. 10 years ago, there were less than 5 000
game farms in South Africa. In 2012 there were 12 000 game farms
in South Africa.
10 000 of these farms have hunting exemption.
20 million hectares of land are in private ownership
representing about 70% of land use for wildlife conservation;
the other 30% is government owned national and provincial
game reserves.
The hunting industry generated R7.7 Billion in 2011 - .25% of
SA’s national GDP.
R3.1 Billion per year was generated from around 250 000
biltong hunters in South Africa.
R2.1 Billion per year was generated from around 15 000
trophy hunters from abroad. The balance was generated from
add-on services, food and accommodation.
Trophy hunting has a lesser impact on wildlife than biltong
hunting.
Hunting is by far the largest revenue generator for game
farmers. The sale of animals represents only around 5% of the
revenue generated by game farmers.
Sixty per cent of all wildlife in South Africa is owned privately
outside of national and provincial parks.
Game and hunting farmers are the largest contributors
towards the conservation of wildlife.
Game farms create three times more employment than on a
normal livestock farm. In recent years more than 70 000 jobs

HAWKINS IS
THE LEADING
SOUTH AFRICAN
BATTERY CHARGER
MANUFACTURER FOR OVER 5 DECADES AND
ITS PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE FROM PRODIST.
TO ENSURE MAXIMUM USE AND LONGEVITY
FROM THE HAWKINS RANGE, PLEASE BE SURE TO
REMEMBER THESE HANDY TIPS.
T
ON GOOD BATTERY CHARGING
If it is a SEALED battery then an AUTOMATIC charger MUST be used. Serious
damage to the battery could result if a MANUAL charger is used and has
been forgotten on charge. If it is a refillable battery (with caps that allow the
addition of distilled water) then either an automatic or a manually controlled
charger will do.
A rule of thumb is to choose a battery charger capable of a current (in amps)
1/10th of the battery capacity. For example, a 50amp-hour battery would
require a charger capable of 5 amps.
A lower charge rate will do the battery no harm, but a higher rate may lead to
excessive gassing and progressive damage of the battery's internal plates.
It follows from above that if you've chosen a charger using the 1/10 th capacity
rule, it will take about 12 hours because of heat and conversion losses.
A small automatic charger, such as the Hawkins SMART6, is the best charger
for this purpose. Such a charger will sit quietly in the corner charging away
and switch itself off
when the battery has
reached the set-point of
the charger. Generally it
will maintain the battery
voltage for weeks,
months or years if need
be so that the battery is
available at a moment's
notice.

Na die sukses met verlede jaar se Ope Dae, is
besluit om dieselfde formaat te gebruik vir die 2015
geleentheid – net met nog meer klem op nuwe
reekse en spesiale aanbiedings. Daar is hierdie jaar
ook ‘n spesiale fokus op besproeiing- en meganisasieprodukte.
Die doel is om Prodist se klante blootstelling te gee aan die
reeks en Prodist se verskaffers en aktiwiteite. Die belangrikste
sal egter wees die bekendstelling van produkte en konsepte.
Die klem sal ook val op opleiding en die oordra van kennis.
Dit sal van waarde wees vir hoofkantoorpersoneel soos
aankopers en produkbestuurders, maar ook vanuit ‘n
opleidings en blootstellingsoogpunt vir takbestuurders en
ander takpersoneel.

Bath ideal for sanitary-ware applications
such as sealing around bathroom and kitchen fittings, baths, showers, sinks,
and toilets. Bostik Bath is also suitable for many other sealing, bonding, and
mending tasks around the home, car, boat and caravan.
Bostik Bath exhibits excellent primerless adhesion to many non-porous
materials e.g. ceramics, glass, enamel, porcelain, coated wood, painted
surfaces, canvas, stainless steel, aluminium, some rubbers and some plastics
(epoxide, polyester, polyacrylate, polystyrene, formica, fiberglass, acrylics,
polycarbonates and rigid PVC).
ALCOLIN SILICONE SEALANT is a one-part acetoxy-curing silicone sealant
that provides a permanent flexible
watertight seal for general purpose sealing
in and around the home.

caravans, and houses e.g. sealing around
bathroom and kitchen fittings, baths,
showers, sinks, toilets, oven door windows,
window frames, boards, signs, insulating
appliances, fixing leaking plumbing, etc.

Pack-sizes have been selected to distinguish
between "fast moving" and "slower moving"
products (fast moving products around
quantities of one kilogram and slow moving
products in quantities as low as hundred
grams). This enables our clients to sell full
packets rather than loose bolts and nuts, should
that be their choice. Time is money and Prodist
believes this initiative will assist our clients to
increase their profit-margins by saving them
time. Stock-takes will become more accurate and
much faster since you can now count packets and
not loose products.
The new weighing measurement means no more
scales and weighing required, no more stock-
losses because of inaccuracy and rounding, and
no more shortages.
UPGRADE
The upgrade means that the complete
range (except for plough bolts) of nuts
and bolts has been upgraded to elec-
tro-galvanised finishing. All fasteners
are pre-packed and properly marked with a part
number, description and quantity in packet. The
old unit of “kilogram” has been changed to the
new unit of trade in “each”.
The good news for the customer is that we have
managed to do these upgrades without having
to increase our prices, which translates to a
considerable saving for our clients and the end
user.
You’ve heard the expression “to master something you have
to get down to the nuts and bolts of the issue”. Well at Prodist
we’ve upgraded our nuts and bolts to make it much easier
and more efficient to manage, store and use our quality range
of these kinds of fasteners.
The upgrades were necessary not only because
it would give the customer an advantage, but
because sales in this category have grown by
more than 200% in the South African market
over the past 5 years whilst the demand for "self
colour" products has subsided. We believe that
this upgrade will put our customers back on
track with the current market trend and help to
grow their markets. Gone is the time when the
handling of bolts and nuts was a messy affair of
oily hands, Electro-galvanised products are clean
and just looks better.
