Dr. Thinus, Joseph, and Jim (my dad) are back in Centurion, South Africa. Yes, they did leave on Friday morning and crossed over into Botswana by late Friday afternoon. It became dark and they were about 20 miles into Botswana when they hit a cow. The Land Rover is a wreck, but they walked away without a scratch. Dr Thinus hitch hiked back to South Africa to get help while Jim and Joseph stayed to guard the supplies. They used a flashlight to wave people around the injured cow.
Some of Dr T’s “spiritual sons” returned to Botswana with him to tow the Rover back across the border. It is now at a workshop in SA. Dr Thinus’ other vehicle is also at the workshop and they said that they hope to have it ready by Wednesday so that they can start driving again for Zambia in time to meet the rest of the team in Ndola on Friday.
