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.


All you have to do is register your details to receive your password. Then

follow the easy links to our products and once you’ve selected the quantity

you require, just pop it into your online shopping basket and proceed to

the payment options.

The system allows for immediate stock availability checks, it is live and

convenient and you will be able to track your order to see exactly where it

is in the process of making its way to you.

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.

curing high quality sanitary silicone sealant

that gives a permanent flexible, durable,

watertight seal for general purpose sealing

excellent for use as an adhesive where an

elastic gap-filling bond is required.

Excellent mould resistance makes Bostik

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.

Alcolin Silicone Sealant is ideal for sealing,

bonding and mending in cars, boats,

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.

The Basecamp Black Enamel Kettle Braai is perfect

for both traditional braaing and convection cooking.

Features include a 59.5cm lid and a 58cm bowl,

chrome plated grill, porcelain coated kettle, removable

ash collector and rubberised wheels.

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
