How Brink’s firm, Shamukuni butted heads over hunting rights

A company linked to late businessman Derik Brink and former Minister of Justice Ronald Shamukuni were locked in a legal dispute over hunting rights in the lucrative Okavango Delta, with questions of corporate identity, legal standing and competing court orders dominating the battle.

The dispute centred on hunting activities in the NG13 concession area and pitted Old Man’s Pan Safaris against DK Superior, a firm associated with Shamukuni. The matter drew in the Tcheku Community Development Trust and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP).
