Farming and Farmer Renico van Rensburg..
Farmer Renico also became Dorper Sheep stud breeding farmer and did a lot of breeding research as my father, being a docter and specialist, also had the foresight to see the potential of research and we  become the first farmers to do artificial insemination in sheep breeding on a large commercial farming level. We did this in collabiration with the well known Irene Reseach Station in Pretoria (Tshwane). However, never tried this on the antelope on our game farm outside Pretoria. Renico started attending
and participating Agricultural shows with the White Dorper and Black Head Dorper Stud sheep which led him to being photographer at these shows and more....to Bloemfontein, the Observatory theatre, actors and Actresses, and The Gods must be Crazy II of Jamie Uys and Boet Troskie for which I did the pre- distribution and PR pictures of Hans Strydom and Lena Ferugia in the leading roles, etc ... the rest history......city camera lights started winking..... 

Silencing of my lamb in the Oliver Thambo Airport...
..silence of a bleating lamb... Renico's looongest "open eyes"... "praying".... a toilettable situation.. (correct.. not to let or letting) at Jan Smuts Airport, now OliverThambo Airport, this Dorper sheep lamb and deleyed flight had made him sitting in the airport toilets with a "bleating" lamb, with my "t-shirt" as "bleating muffer mouthguard silencer" secretly in the toilets....waiting on a delayed flight of my friend Miss South Africa,  returning from the Miss Universe pageant where 
she was crowned as 1st runner-up. Her speech and words sparked the idea to welcome her with a lamb off my stud farm.....silencing thie lamb with a "going stomach" in the toilets... and then maybe on her dress....a Bleating or Bleatitia disaster... but  her perfume must have done the trick.. no spoils and ..Letitia and the lamb hit the Font Pages  the next morning.....and me......the dry cleaners

Renico now became Press Correspondent and Photojournalist in the process....although not such a writer ... my cousin Elizabeth Badenhost is... she writes while she is cooking and then naming it a COOK BOOK, even with the recipes and publishes it....!

Roles in life....  who's roles?  being called so many names ... "roles of laughter" yes...at the name pronounciations and spelling of Renico's name on faxes,  letters,  "roll calls" namelists and e-mails... varying from Renicc, Nico, Rynico, Renyco, Enrico, Enriko, Reniko, Renco, Renick, Rynic, Rico, Ryno , Rynco, Rainco, ... to the longer... Reinecko, Reineke, Reinecke.... therefore some days you in class and some days you  not ...!

For  Photographer Renico shooting deep down under ...meters below ... ..the words gold, mine, heat , hot, look,.. takes on a new meaning...
Phrases like  ... ".. is looking hot " or " that's a hot outfit " or " what a hot look.!" 
have a lot more meaning if you have been down under at 1/2 km into earth shooting pictures of  people.
..." my earth w that a hot photo session shoot " ....  Renico should know...

...the most lines in a film part by Renico in South African film productions...no 1 again ...one line and two words.. the part ...an attorney ! ....and the client's requirements still stayed at no 1..


However now ... still  supporter of the Rugby Springbucks , no 1 ranking in the world and Proud winners of the Rugby World Cup in France 2007.....wel done Bokke..!

Last Bark:
My first pet was a puppy dog called penny.......she got run over in Philippolis..
and my penny dropped...or the penny dropped ...dont cross roads you are not 
ready for !

The Last Bark belongs to a puppy dog called Clover.. who became a well known Jack Russsel in Cape Town .....protecting renico, models, kids talent, and model agency on several occasions..........if a little  dog can do it for humans....why cant
we do it as humans ourselves as well ??
