On 23 March 2020 the Bonsmara family has lost one of its dearest pillars and beacons with the passing away of Jorg Sigwart.
No one will ever be able to fill his place, he showed each and every one of us how to live fully and compassionately! His place will forever be empty amongst us.
We would like to congratulate David Botha and his daughter Dene Botha with this outstanding performance!

Hartebeestloop het weer die jaar 'n uitstekende program tydens die Boeredag aangebied. Die veiling het nog steeds baie goeie pryse behaal ondanks die droogte. Die gemiddelde prys vir Hartebeestloop-bulle was N$50,450 en die gemiddelde prys van alle bulle op die veiling was N$47,216.
Bywoning by vanjaar se studente opleiding by die Bonsmaras het met meer as verdubbel. Terwyl die UNAM studente hulle praktiese opleiding al vir die vierde jaar by die Bonsmaras ontvang, het die landbou fakulteit van die Namibia University of Science and Technoglogy vanjaar vir die eerste keer by die groep aangesluit.
Meer as die helfde van ons Bonsmaratelers het toekennings ontvang. Twee van die tien platinum-toekennings is vanjaar aan Namibiese Bonsmaratelers toegeken. Die Elite-Platinumkoeie kom uit Hartebeestloop Bonsmaras al vir twee jaar ná mekaar.
