Well Alex's last day is finally here and what a sad day it is. I decided that rather than do a normal video highlights for the week I would concentrate on some of the great farewell tributes that you guys have made for Alex. Alex has become a solid member of the WE team but [...]
WE may think a leopard is illusive. Or believe we can comprehend the nature of this enigmatic cat. Finding his tracks on the dusty footprints of Land Cruisers and Land Rovers, I know the tracks are fresh, WE can feel he was here.Suddenly, maybe just as WE think we can see him, he can disappear [...]
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that our cameraman, the intrepid adventurer, Alex is leaving us. He has been manning the camera and bringing you Djuma LIVE for 8 months with out complaining or missing a beat. To say that he has been a much loved member of our team [...]
The behind the scenes show is back. Exactly the same as before, only different!!It's still going to come out on Fridays, but it's no longer going to be broadcast in the LIVE stream. You see after a lot of discussion WE decided that the Behind the Scenes show should stand alone as it was not [...]

Anyway, you guys have once again excelled yourselves with your video making skills. I was astounded at how many have been made over the last week, I had hours of entertaining viewing so [...]

Somewhere deep within our phyletic memory or maybe our primal beings, we can remember fire. Something that once scared us, enchanted us and captivated us. Something that changed us forever.
