The Anti-Poaching 200 Club has just had a major relaunch with the goal of raising R1 million to help protect the wildlife of Dinokeng.
Gauteng, South Africa (02 September 2025) – On the outskirts of Pretoria, where the bushveld stretches wide and the Big Five roam, lies Dinokeng Game Reserve. It’s a place where rhinos graze under the trees, and the call of birds slice through the sky. But for all its beauty, Dinokeng carries a heavy burden: the shadow of poaching that threatens its most vulnerable residents.
Rhino horn, snares, and armed incursions are not just statistics here; they’re the daily reality of a reserve fighting to protect its animals. In the past year alone, Dinokeng has lost a leopard, two lionesses, a hyena, and countless other game to snares. The pressure on the Anti-Poaching Unit is relentless, and while their courage never falters, their resources are stretched thin.
That’s where community comes in. What started as the “100 Club” has now doubled in strength, launching the Anti-Poaching 200 Club, a simple, powerful way for everyday people to make a difference. The idea is brilliantly straightforward: 200 people each contribute R100 a month. Every member is assigned (or selects) a number, and once a month, a lucky draw sees one person walk away with R2,000. The rest? It goes directly into protecting Dinokeng’s wildlife.
It’s not just about rhinos, though they remain the heart of this fight. It’s about upgrading reserve security, monitoring game movements, securing fences, and making sure poachers don’t get the upper hand. Every contribution fuels the team that stands between our wildlife and those who would destroy it.
The impact of the 100 Club was profound, helping the Anti-Poaching Unit hold the line. This year, with the expansion to 200 members, the hope is not only to strengthen that frontline but also to invest in wider protections that safeguard the entire ecosystem. Because when you save a rhino, you protect everything around it.
For those who love the bush, who have felt the quiet awe of seeing a rhino in the wild, this is a call to action. It’s a chance to be part of something bigger, something that matters. By joining the Anti-Poaching 200 Club, you’re not just donating, you’re standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who risk their lives to keep our wild spaces safe.
Dinokeng’s rhinos don’t have voices. But we do. And right now, they need us to speak up, step in, and make sure future generations can marvel at them too.
Join the Anti-Poaching 200 Club today. Be part of the change. Be part of the protection. Be part of the story that ends with rhinos still roaming free.
