Thanks to generous sponsorship by Nicky and Strilli Oppenheimer, the author will not receive any royalties, ensuring that proceeds from each sale directly support selected non-profit organisations, including St John Johannesburg.
When purchasing a copy, buyers may select a beneficiary, with at least R200 from every sale being donated to their chosen cause.
The Reverend Dr Nigel Willis

He currently serves as an assistant priest at St George’s Anglican Church in Parktown, Johannesburg, which has had a long-standing association with the Order of St John.
Beyond his legal and theological contributions, Nigel has been actively involved in game ranching in the Northern Tuli Block, where he has fond memories of attending executive committee meetings of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve (NOTUGRE), often held at Glenshiel.
