NHLOWA
NAME
Nhlowa is named after the small river/ spruit (near Ntandanyathi waterhole east of S28) in the Lower Sabie area where this bull has been seen and photographed first time.
(Nhlowa is a temporary name for this upcoming tusker just for identification purposes)
CHARACTERISTICS
Very small notch in right ear (centre) and two small notches in the left ear (centre and upper part of the earlobe) The left tusk is longer then right one and curved upwards. The right tusk is more straight.

Reason I added this one to this section is my idea to follow some of the promising bulls over the years to see how they devellop to mid-size or even big tusker.
I have seen this one twice during my trips and believe he has potential to devellop. This is based on the the current tusks (size and how thick they are).
