Gerhardus Van Wyk will be laid to rest on Wednesday morning after a service at the Dutch Reformed kerk in the little Namibian bush town of Outjo.

He had led a life filled with great danger. As a young man during the Angolan Bush War (which raged from 1966 to 1990), he fought Soviet-backed guerrillas while serving in the apartheid-era South African Army. Later, as a park ranger and game-reserve manager, he battled poachers armed with assault rifles and faced charging elephants. He was a noted horseman.
