Win an unforgettable springbuck hunt while supporting Hoërskool Linden

Support Hoërskool Linden and stand a chance to win a R350 000 Karoo hunting experience for four, including trophy springbuck and a helicopter flight.

 

Hoërskool Linden and Mega Springbuck are both legendary institutions in their own right.

Hoërskool Linden is an integral part of Johannesburg’s history and has produce some of the well-known public figures in South Africa – think Riaan Crywagen, Karen Zoid and many more. Linden is also one of only two Afrikaans-medium public secondary schools in Johannesburg.

While Mega Springbuck in the De Aar district in the Karoo has produced a few legends themselves such as the record springbucks Punisher and Matador.

Like many schools, Hoërskool Linden relies on fundraising initiatives to support its activities, maintain facilities and provide learners with opportunities beyond the classroom.

It just makes sense that it takes hands with another top-of-its-field institution such as Mega Springbuck to help them in their efforts.

Together they offer a fundraising competition where participants stand the chance to win a four-person hunting experience in the Karoo, valued at R350 000.

What makes this competition exciting is the change for the winner to shoot a Rowland Ward springbuck, as well as other springbuck while having a wide range of hunting experiences.

A SCHOOL WITH A LONG HISTORY

Hoërskool Linden traces its origins to shortly after the Second Anglo-Boer War, when it started as a small farm school on the Emmarentia farm. It later moved to Linden and, in 1952, became a fully fledged Afrikaans-medium high school, welcoming its first matric class. Today, the school has a history spanning more than a century and remains an established part of Afrikaans education in Johannesburg.

 

A KAROO OPERATION KNOWN FOR ITS SPRINGBUCK

Mega Springbuck is situated about 10 km outside De Aar in the Northern Cape. The game farm has built its reputation through wildlife management and selective springbuck breeding, focusing on improving herd genetics and trophy quality.

Its breeding programmes have produced some notable animals, including the famous V12 springbuck with horns measuring 20⅛ inches, as well as record springbucks such as Punisher and Matador, which exceeded 21 inches.

The operation also offers hunting facilities, accommodation at Kampfontein Guesthouse and a dedicated shooting range.

THE HUNTING COMPETITION

The first prize is a hunting experience for four people during the 2027 hunting season, valued at R350 000.

The package includes:

• Four days and four nights.

• A walking and spot-and-stalk hunting experience.

The prize offers more than a conventional hunting trip.
