“I started with Boswa Survival as a student way back in 2012 and have since completed the Instructor course under Herman Roos. With Herman moving to the Western Cape to start a new Boswa branch, I have taken over most of the survival courses training here at the Gauteng branch. It is a privilege to be able to teach survival to students. “
