Alex & Renias’s Radio 702 Interview

The transforming nature of friendship and diversity is beyond dispute. Everyone has their own personal experiences and has enjoyed the rewards of committed intercultural friendships.
Can South Africans, and indeed the world, build healthy, robust intercultural relationships in the corporate environment? Can these lead to greater levels of personal and financial fulfillment?
The Power of Relationships presentation provides the keys to unlock the latent potential in working relationships.
For the last 24 years, Alex and Renias have worked together conducting specialized safaris, training wildlife trackers, and presenting their inspirational presentation, The Power of Relationships. Their journey together has taken them from tracking leopards at Londolozi game reserve to following grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park and speaking internationally. They have worked throughout Africa, including Brazil, Peru, North America, UK, and Australia.
Alex and Renias have been the subjects of several TV news documentaries, most notably, CNN International. See the interview here.
These two men have broken through the barriers of their backgrounds and formed a bond which has changed both their lives forever. This is a relationship which is seen by many as a model in a democratic South Africa.

World-renowned wildlife trackers Alex van den Heever and Renias Mhlongo have spent more than two decades working together, tracking leopards and lions at Londolozi, jaguars in South America and grizzly bears in the United States.
In Changing a Leopard’s Spots, Alex shares stories from his life with Renias, including the successes, failures, dramas, laughter, disappointments and highlights. As they experience numerous adventures, Alex and Renias learn to trust and rely on one another – both in order to stay alive, in a literal sense because of the sometimes dangerous environments in which they work, but also to develop a deep and meaningful relationship.
Alex and Renias co-authered the bestselling Tracker Manual published by Struik Nature. This practical guide to animal tracking is a one-of-its-kind manual, based on information developed with the help of southern Africa’s few remaining traditional trackers and their centuries-old wisdom in the field.
Alex and Renias’s latest book will be published in March 2020 with Pan MacMillan
