Buitenverwachting Restaurant

To be introduced by Braam Malherbe.

In April 2015, a small group of photographers sharing a passion for the Cape coalesced around the notion of volunteering its skills to produce a permanent record of the Muizenberg Fire of March 2015. Its intent was to raise funds for organisations that worked to contain and suppress the fire before dealing with its inevitably costly consequences.  The word was out and a talented team got together http://capeaflame.org/projectteam/  this included extreme adventurer and eco-warrior Braam Malherbe.

Braam is an International motivational speaker, MC, extreme adventurer, conservationist, youth developer, TV presenter and author of the best-seller, The Great Run.

As a conservationist and Honorary Ranger for SANParks, Braam is involved in counter-poaching operations and finding sustainable solutions to save the rhino from extinction.  He has an unbridled passion for the natural world and is well known in wildlife conservation - a topic extremely close to his heart and he inspires people to act and be part of the change required to ensure a sustainable future for all species on the planet.

Braam’s adventures are extraordinary and always purpose driven. He is a riveting international motivational speaker, applying lessons learnt from his experiences to talk about themes relating to goals, courage, leadership, teamwork, purpose and making the impossible possible.

The Book 

During the furnace heat of early March, the Muizenberg Fire ripped our iconic Cape Peninsula in two, uniting Capetonians as never before. Sweeping from coast to coast, the largest single wildfire in Table Mountain National Park’s history razed 5120 hectares of fynbos, four homes and a luxury resort.

Residents feared its vindictive ferocity. Ecologists welcomed its life-giving, rejuvenating power. Both sought to protect their interests.  The book sets wildfire in the context of history and our fynbos biome’s needs.
