[00:05:51] dedicated team of mentors and social social workers to help children transform
[00:05:55] transform their lives. The programme
[00:05:57] programme was initially started as as a prevention programme to get
[00:06:00] get the kids off the street, because because we've got a lot of crime
[00:06:04] crime prostitution and drugs around around the area. Wow. So all these
[00:06:08] these kids, we introduced them to to the ocean. Yeah. And teach them
[00:06:11] them ocean related skills. And then
[00:06:13] then some of them venture on to being being lifeguards, baristas and all
[00:06:17] all different stuff in the world. world. The training here has been
[00:06:20] been so successful that some former former pupils have even gone on to
[00:06:24] to represent South Africa at international international tournaments. Have you
[00:06:27] you ever served before? No. I listen,
[00:06:30] listen, I grew up in Bolton in Lancashire. Lancashire. Right. I'm not going

[00:06:54] Yeah. Let's go. This way. Not sure
[00:07:03] sure how this is going to go, but but the fact that I'm able to try
[00:07:06] try it at all is worth celebrating. celebrating. During apartheid, even
[00:07:09] even the sea was segregated and black black people were banned from this
[00:07:13] this section of the beach completely. completely. Thankfully, that kind
[00:07:17] kind of racism is long gone and I'm I'm ready to take my first surfing
[00:07:20] surfing lesson at the age of 60.
[00:07:24] 60. Let me first introduce you to to Indie Pillar. Hey, how you doing?

[00:07:39] get to it. Might take a while. I
[00:07:41] I don't know, I'm a very good coach.
[00:07:45] coach. And to learn the basics, I
[00:07:47] I don't even have to get wet. The
[00:07:50] The basics like getting down on the
[00:07:51] the board. So we'll be down there
[00:07:54] there paddling. So you paddle and and then when you get up, you push
[00:07:57] push up. First push up and then one
[00:08:01] one leg at the front. Yeah. And then
[00:08:02] then you turn basically. And then
[00:08:05] then I turn. So you see, so your your foot's there. So this is how
[00:08:08] how you'd get up. You'd do this.
[00:08:11] this. So you do that and that you you turn that way. Yeah. OK. But
[00:08:15] But it's all like in a sequence. sequence. So when you do this pop
[00:08:19] pop up like this. Yeah. It has to to be quick. It has to be quick.
[00:08:22] quick. The transition between your your pop up and standing up has to
[00:08:26] to be quick because if you if you're
[00:08:27] you're slow, you're gonna end up
[00:08:30] up falling. OK, time to give it a
[00:08:33] a go for real.
[00:09:02] Turns out it's actually easier to stand up on a surfboard on dry
[00:09:06] dry land. But still, I really enjoyed
[00:09:10] enjoyed that. That was so much fun.
[00:09:15] fun. Thank you, thank you. I really,
[00:09:17] really, really enjoyed it. Tiring.
[00:09:20] Tiring. I'm an old man. I'm an old old bloke. I'm an old bloke. But
[00:09:23] But it was so much fun and I can can understand. I can see what the
[00:09:26] the kids get out of it. Yeah. You You know, the excitement and the
[00:09:28] the rush. Especially when you do do manage to sort of balance precariously.
[00:09:32] precariously. You did very well. well. If we had you for one more more day, we would have had you one
[00:09:36] one more day up and running. One
[00:09:37] One more decade. No. One more decade

[00:09:46] as well. It's just amazing. Amazing.
[00:09:53] Amazing. Being back in South Africa, Africa, having been based here with
[00:09:56] with the BBC over 20 years ago. I'm
[00:09:59] I'm reminded of just how stunningly
[00:10:02] stunningly beautiful it is. Before
[00:10:05] Before Katherine and I left in 2006,
[00:10:08] 2006, we went on the holiday of a a lifetime to Kruger National Park
[00:10:11] Park to see the big game animals animals for which South Africa is
[00:10:15] is so famous. 20 years on, some of
[00:10:18] of these iconic animals are in ever
[00:10:20] ever increasing danger. Lawrence.
[00:10:23] Lawrence. Yes. Hey, Clive. Good to
[00:10:25] to see you. How are you doing? Lawrence Lawrence Reed and his wife, Kerry.
[00:10:29] Kerry. Run a private game reserve reserve helping to protect precious
[00:10:33] precious wildlife. So what animals animals do you have here? So we've
[00:10:36] we've got hippos, giraffe. OK. Wildebeest.
[00:10:39] Wildebeest. Zebra. We've got a leopard leopard that comes through now and
[00:10:43] and again. Really? But is he going going to come through today? Oh,
[00:10:47] Oh, I hope so. Maybe we can see him. him. Yeah. We'll see him from the
[00:10:50] the safety of this vehicle. We've We've also got rhinos on the farm.
[00:10:53] farm. Rhinos? Yeah, yeah. Which is
[00:10:56] is what brought me here to this farm.
[00:10:59] farm. It was after a 2014 poaching
[00:11:02] poaching incident in which two rhinos rhinos died that Lawrence approached
[00:11:05] approached the owner to offer his
[00:11:07] his help. 11 years later, Lawrence
[00:11:09] Lawrence now runs things. But the
[00:11:11] the threat of hunters is ever present.
[00:11:18] present. So where did your love of of rhinos come from? I don't know.
[00:11:22] know. They seem so majestic and helpless.
[00:11:26] helpless. Helpless. Even though they're they're so big. Yeah. And they just
[00:11:30] just need someone to look after them.
[00:11:31] them. I don't know. The African rhino
[00:11:35] rhino is a critically endangered endangered species, and while South
[00:11:39] South Africa has the largest population population in the world, it is also
[00:11:41] also a hotspot for poachers with
[00:11:44] with 420 animals killed in 2024 alone.
[00:11:47] alone. When you're poaching a rhino, rhino, you're not eating poaching
[00:11:50] poaching it for meat. You're poaching
[00:11:53] poaching it for greed for the rhino
[00:11:55] rhino horn. So it's the horn. Yeah.
[00:11:57] Yeah. The poachers are after. 100%
[00:12:00] 100% poached rhino horn is often often used in traditional medicines
[00:12:04] medicines in Asia. Studies have consistently consistently shown that it holds
[00:12:07] holds no medicinal qualities whatsoever, whatsoever, but it can still fetch
[00:12:10] fetch tens of thousands of pounds pounds per kilo on the black market.
[00:12:14] market. Have you had any poaching poaching here? No, not with the rhinos
[00:12:18] rhinos because we have what I call
[00:12:21] call boots on the ground. We have have cars following them all the
[00:12:24] the time. And they sort of rangers.
[00:12:26] rangers. Yeah. So they rhino minders. minders. Rhino minders you call them.
[00:12:29] them. Yes, yes. Right. How many of of them do you have? Well, each group
[00:12:33] group of rhinos has Amanda with them
[00:12:35] them 24/7. OK. Yeah. The game reserve
[00:12:42] reserve is almost 7500 acres small small by African standards, but home
[00:12:46] home to hundreds of species roaming
[00:12:50] roaming freely. It's breathtaking.
[00:13:00] breathtaking. Oh, look at that. Animals
[00:13:03] Animals crossing the road. That's That's pretty cool. Yeah. Oh, let's
[00:13:06] let's get a picture of that. Catherine

[00:13:15] keeping my eyes peeled for rhinos, rhinos, and Lawrence thinks we're
[00:13:18] we're close. I know the rhinos are are lying down the left-hand side
[00:13:22] side here somewhere. Let's see if if we can see them. Where are you

[00:16:19] Whilst Lawrence hasn't lost any rhinos to organise poaching, the
[00:16:23] the smaller animals here are always
[00:16:25] always a target for individuals setting
[00:16:28] setting snares. And as we're filming.
[00:16:31] filming. Romeo Tango coming from from hotel. A call comes through
[00:16:34] through on the radio. Whereabouts Whereabouts are you on that fence
[00:16:37] fence line? Yeah, but I think yeah,
[00:16:39] yeah, but I think have. You got that that person with you? Yeah. From
[00:16:43] From affirmative. He's sitting down.
[00:16:44] down. OK. I'll be there now. The
[00:16:49] The game reserves anti-poaching unit unit has apprehended someone near
[00:16:52] near the perimeter fence, and we're
[00:16:53] we're now on route to the scene.
[00:16:58] scene. OK. We. No sure. Fire apart.
[00:17:08] apart. One behind you. And we'll
[00:17:12] we'll deal with them just now. The
[00:17:22] The guys, they're heavily armed. armed. They don't know what they're
[00:17:23] they're going to come across. But,
[00:17:26] But, you know, on this occasion,
[00:17:28] occasion, they've done their job. job. So I just I think take them
[00:17:32] them to the gate and then get confirmation confirmation that he does work for
[00:17:35] for them. If he does, then drop them them off at Marilla. OK. All right.
[00:17:38] right. OK. Thank you. Sir Lawrence,
[00:17:44] Lawrence, what do you think? What's What's the story? OK. So he works
[00:17:47] works for that. The trust. Right.
[00:17:49] Right. So the trust has is part of of this farm here. But he works on
[00:17:53] on another farm and he was taking taking a shortcut through the farm.
[00:17:57] farm. So we'll get confirmation from
[00:17:59] from the person that he works for. for. And if everything's 100%, we'll
[00:18:03] we'll drop him on the other side side of the farm where he was heading
[00:18:05] heading for. And he still could have have been setting snares. So we'd
[00:18:08] we'd have to check the area. But
[00:18:10] But he had no evidence of stuff or
[00:18:13] or snares or things like that. But But it's an ever present danger, danger, isn't it? That's what you're
[00:18:17] you're having to deal with, the possibility possibility that people will come
[00:18:20] come onto this land and try and take
[00:18:23] take what doesn't belong to them.
[00:18:25] them. 100% yes. Follow up searches
[00:18:29] searches didn't find any snares, snares, so the suspected poacher
[00:18:31] poacher was let off with a warning.
[00:18:35] warning. Lawrence and his team are are doing such vital work. I really
[00:18:38] really hope the animals here continue
[00:18:40] continue to thrive under his watch.
[00:18:47] watch. I'm heading back to Durban, Durban, but before I do, I have one
