About This Item
(no place: Voortrekkerpers, 1951). 8vo; original blue papered boards; pp. 287; photographs. Boards a little splayed; some foxing to page edges. Good. Afrikaans text. Although Rolprentavonture saw several printings, it is probably the hardest of Sangiro's works to find. The origins of Sangiro's move from hunting and journalism to wildlife filmmaking are described thus in P. J. Nienaber's 'Hier is ons Skrywers': 'Terwyl hy in Duitsland was, het die UFA-filmmaatskappy hom genader met die versoek om 'n film-ekspedisie na Tanganyika te lei. Gedurende 1924 het hierdie ekspedisie plaasgevind en sommige van die ondervindings wat hy toe opgedoen het, word in sy boek Simba beskryf. Nadat hy weer 'n tyd in Duitsland deurgebring het, het hy na Suid-Afrika gekom om die rolprent "Kilimandjaro" te vertoon. In 1928 is Sangiro weer na Tanganyika, waar hy en sy broer Danie die rolprent "Shaitani" vervaardig het. Sommige van die ervarings wat hulle met daardie ekspedisie opgedoen het, word ook in Simba beskryf. Hy het die film na Duitsland geneem om 'n afdruk daarvan te laat maak en het in 1931 na Suid-Afrika teruggekeer." .
