Wheeling in the big fish – 15 September 2012
The inland dam at the lodge is teeming with fish, which due to the excellent habitat have rapidly grown in numbers. The dam has various fish species including Carp, Lowveld Large-scale Yellow fish, Branded Tilapia, Redbreast Tilapia and Mozambique Tilapia. Last year’s winner of this “Catch And Release” event managed to land a whopping 10.5kg Carp.
“This is a great initiative and we are proud to be associated with this tournament which provides these men with an opportunity to share in this wonderful sport while also enjoying the beauty of nature at this magnificent and serene lodge,” says sales and marketing executive for African Pride Hotels Robyn Ward.
Last year the tournament attracted 40 participants and this year 50 fishermen are expected. Participants are from across Gauteng, Northwest and Limpopo.
“This activity brings people together and introduces new beginnings as a therapy to recover and rekindle feelings of wellness” concludes Smal.

Employee of the month gets Micro Light flight
African Pride Irene Country Lodge has started a bit of a tradition where if you have been chosen as the employee of the month, you get a flight in a Micro Light with company director, Adrian van der Byl, so every two months he takes the hardworking staff members up and yesterday was just one of those days. Lesley Benson, HR Administrator and Simangele Ndawonde, Receptionist at African Pride Irene Country Lodge were facing their challenges and did a flight around the Centurion area.
They certainly do not look scared and looks like they really enjoyed it thoroughly.
I am sure the performance at the Lodge has increased to win this.
