...tigers, lions--considered vulnerable but not endangered--were quietly slipping toward oblivion. Ten years ago, the species was thought to number as many as 100,000. But the new appraisal, made public last September and published in the journal Oryx in January by Hans Bauer of Leiden University and Sarel van der Merwe of the African Lion Working Group, was a paltry 23,000. More than half live in six protected areas, which is why tourists in Kenya's Masai Mara or South Africa's Kruger National Park can still see plenty of lions. But outside these megazoos, lions appear...
...other two Disney films have similar plots. Indeed, add a female character and the two pictures have identical plots. In A Far Off Place, three kids in their early teens -- a New York City boy (Ethan Randall), a white girl raised in Africa (Reese Witherspoon) and a Bushman (Sarel Bok) -- find that poachers have massacred the white children's parents, so they resolve to cross 1,300 miles of the Kalahari Desert to alert the law. The cutesy Homeward Bound is the same story, with three variations: the family is missing, not dead; the hostile terrain is the Western...
Last week white-bearded Sarel Alberts invited white-bearded Dolf de la Rey to visit his farm. He had been thinking things over. Said Alberts to his lifelong friend and enemy: "I know the Nationalists well. They are unfit to rule the country. I want to join Torch and fight them...
Malan's headlong rush towards a narrow Afrikaner state-anti-British and anti-black-was too much for one of South Africa's oldest living heroes: 80-year-old General Sarel Francois Alberts. In the Boer War, Alberts fought alongside the late great Field Marshal Smuts against the hated British; after Smuts made peace (in 1902), they fought one another. Alberts, in 1914, rebelled against South Africa's pro-British government; he was defeated and captured by one of Smuts's toughest lieutenants: Dolf de la Rey. Since then, captor and captive have gone their separate...
...send troops outside the continental borders. Last week, by a vote of 75-to-49 in the Assembly and 21-to-6 in the Senate, Smuts obtained Parliament's permission to have South African volunteers participate in the invasion of Europe. He smiled happily when Senator Sarel François Alberts, an Anglophobe veteran of the Boer War, announced that despite his age (70) he was ready to fight for Africa overseas if the Army would take him. Commented Smuts: "There speaks...
