Foundation embarks on Mozambique expedition with Defender convoy
A convoy of Land Rover Defender vehicles is heading north as part of the Kingsley Holgate Foundation's latest expedition into Mozambique. Looking for a new or used Land Rover? Find it here with CARmag! The mission, called the Greater Gorongosa Expedition, sat out on Tuesday and focuses on delivering malaria prevention tools, educational materials, and basic aid to rural communities near Gorongosa National Park. The Holgate Foundation is known for combining off-road exploration with humanitarian work, and this trip marks another chapter in a relationship with Defender that spans more than two decades. The team will travel in a mix of modern and older Defender models, continuing a long tradition of relying on the vehicle's off-road capability in remote parts of Africa.

Both recently completed a 62 000km journey through 21 African countries during the Afrika Odyssey trip. They'll be joined by four classic Defender models that have been part of earlier Holgate journeys. The vehicles are loaded with gear and medical supplies, including mosquito nets intended for families in high-risk malaria zones. The expedition highlights the continuing health challenges in Mozambique, where malaria remains one of the leading causes of child mortality. According to the World Health Organisation, sustained efforts are still needed in the region. During its last major campaign, the foundation distributed nearly 16 000 mosquito nets. While the new Defenders bring updated tech and improved comfort, the inclusion of older models is a nod to the vehicle's role in previous expeditions. Ross Holgate, who leads the mission, said the combination of new and old Defenders reflects the evolution of the brand while maintaining the same core purpose — reaching places that are difficult to access and doing meaningful work when they get there. The team departed from Hoedspruit following a community send-off at a local environmental camp. They're expected to spend the next few weeks navigating rugged terrain in one of Southern Africa's most biodiverse regions. Click here and browse thousands of new and used vehicles here with CARmag!

Land Rover drives Kingsley Holgate Foundation's latest mission
Leading the convoy are two Defender 130 models — Moyo (Heart) and Isibindi (Courage) — which recently completed the 62,000km Afrika Odyssey. They're joined by four classic Defenders, each a testament to the model's iconic status and storied history of exploration and service in Africa and abroad. Together, the vehicles will carry several tonnes of aid and equipment. A key focus of the trip is malaria prevention. Mozambique remains one of the countries most affected by the disease, particularly among young children. On its previous mission, the foundation distributed 15,880 mosquito nets, with each estimated to protect at least one mother and two children. The team hopes to increase that number in the weeks ahead.

No genocide in SA, G20 told
Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development acting director-general Nomthandazo Moyo clarifies the South African government's stance on land redistribution. Image: GCIS/ Facebook DEPARTMENT of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development acting director-general Nomthandazo Moyo has set the record straight on reports of genocide in South Africa. Moyo spoke during the opening of the G20 Development Working Group in KwaZulu-Natal on Sunday. Moyo said that while the country dealt with development issues, it also faced challenges and every country dealt with crime issues. Moyo also said issues of public safety were something that affected everyone, irrespective of whether they were in the south, the north or the east of the globe. As the administrator responsible for land, Moyo confirmed that there was no expropriation of land without compensation when it came to land redistribution issues and there was also restitution for those whose land was taken during apartheid. 'When we restitute the land, we buy the land from the previous owners. We don't take it by force,' Moyo said. Video Player is loading.

There would be no genocide in future. So that is our story.' The issue of genocide in South Africa has reached foreign soil, with President Cyril Ramaphosa recently travelling to the United States to speak to US President Donald Trump. Ramaphosa told Trump that there was no white genocide in South Africa. Since the meeting with Trump, more political heads and other leaders have also said there was no genocide in the country. They include award-winning American actress Viola Davis, Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, Free State Agriculture's Dr Jane Buys and former African Union Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Citing the country's latest crime statistics, which cover the first three months of 2025, Mchunu said six murders linked to farms were recorded in the first quarter of 2025, with five of the victims being black. Mchunu emphasised that the history of farm murders in South Africa has been distorted and reported in an unbalanced way.
