The BULL of Africa "saga" still continues, and we need your help. It is now 1 year after what I thought to be a successful BULL of Africa race in the Transkei. Our primary Financial Sponsor, BUNKER Capital, did not meet their financial obligations after the Race, and Sonja and I found ourselves in dire straits and very desperate to get BUNKER to honour their commitments. Our Attorney has had a number of Meetings with them, trying to finalise matters amicably. Promises are still being made without results. After what seems to feel like forever, we decided to approach Carte Blanche to investigate this matter and possibly feature and in depth journalistic story on the damage that this Company has caused to many individuals out there, contractors that worked on the Event, Racers that competed, winning teams that did not receive their well deserved prize money, sponsors that did not get their coverage on TV, the credibility of the Race and their Organisers and loosing out on the opportunity to be in a position to host the AR World Champs in the future. Carte Blanche seems to be interested in this story - Sonja had her first Meeting with the Investigating Journalist last week, and obviously he needs all the possible input and info to put together a well balanced story. I thought it good to ask the AR Community and BULL of Africa Racers and other interested parties to contact the Journalist if you wish to do so. His details are the following: Wynand Grobler [email protected] 083 700 3478 My opinion is that what BUNKER had done is simply not right - something must be seen to be done about this. They have played with and ruined many dreams. The slogan of the BULL of Africa seems to be ironic now ... "changing your way of living forever". Thanks for your attention in this regard. Sonja and I miss AR and presenting the BULL tremendously. We also miss your ugly and dirty faces after crossing the finish line! Hopefully, with the grace of our Father all of this will be finalised soon, and we will be able to get closure on this chapter in our lives. It will also be GREAT to see you guys some time in the near future again ... big eyed, at a BULL of Africa race briefing ... Cheers for now - have a GREAT week. Kind regards, Hano Otto. __._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages ---oOo--- To unsubscribe from this group, send a blank email to: [email protected] ---oOo--- Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
