\"IMG_0028\"<\/td>\nIt was winter in the year 2015, and a call came through from a gentleman in Harrismith<\/a> in the Free State.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hopped into our trusty Nissan Hardbody, and went to have a look at the problem he was having with his AGA. Beautiful old two oven – was smoking and generally misbehaving. The barrel was burnt, so we took it out and loaded it up for repair at our engineer’s workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n

While we were in the process of investigating, we saw what seemed to be a very large cat pass by the kitchen door and disappear into the inner reaches of the house.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Then, it returned and this time came into the kitchen and we saw to our surprise that it was in fact a lion cub!<\/span><\/p>\n

There was much questioning and a lot of very interesting information was gleaned. This cub was being reared, for the time being at this gentleman’s home, aided by ‘The Lion Queen’ – Andi Rive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please read about Andi and the ‘Love Lions Alive’<\/a> Project. Incredible work by incredible people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh and if you ever pass through Harrismith you HAVE<\/strong> to stop and buy biltong from the shop in McKechnie Road, Harrismith. It is simply the best biltong in the world!
