SANDF members help clean up Bloemfontein Zoo

SANDF members help clean up Bfn Zoo
Members of the South African Defense Force (SANDF) took it upon themselves to clean up at the Bloemfontein Zoo this morning. This comes after the community took to social media this week to express their concerns about the state the zoo is in. They claimed that animals are not being cared for due the ongoing strike by municipal workers. OFM News was however reassured by Jaco Pieterse, an inspector from the Bloemfontein SPCA, who visited the zoo and confirmed that the animals are provided for. Johan Prinsloo from the SANDF says they have always enjoyed a good relationship with the zoo

Cheetah Experience in Bloemfontein, South Africa

I learned so much from the 2 hours tour at Cheetah Experience. Many wildcats with a unique name and 'super power'. It was such an amazing experience for me to be able to learn about all these wild animals and had such close encounter with them. Enjoy!

Bloemfontein Zoo to breed the rare white lion

The Bloemfontein Zoo is now part of a programme to breed the rare white lion.
White lions are not a separate species, but have a rare colour mutation making them much paler in colour than your typical lion.
The most famous white lions are those of the Timbavati area of Mpumalanga.
It's where they've been hunting and breeding successfully in the wild for some years.

Africa has proven to be the cradle of mankind. And we have past history that documents that, Across Social Media and the Internet there is news most true and guiding with a great rise in fake news and misleading information, and there is also the FACT. and fact will always remain history as time moves on. Here is a short video of my trip. I learnt some interesting facts about South Africa's History and our Solar System's origin. This is also the town, Bloemfontein where both Leading political parties of South Africa were formed. There is 12 Years to Go. We have great work to do across our Planet, as well as here in #SouthAfrica
