Since that time, we have imported a dog Ch (SA) Tamsala Jimbun Tukituk of Mwanamatapa Herbie and a bitch Ch (SA) Tamsala Chimaera Blondie, both bred by Jan Robert from Australia.

Our policy is to breed infrequently and we are very proud to have produced 4 breed champions to date - Ch (SA) Mwanamatapa Ti-Zinzan Zinzan, Ch (SA) Mwanamatapa Winning Drop of Marikate Rayne, Ch (SA) Mwanamatapa Galactic Glimmer and Ch (SA) Mwanamatapa Sunmist Shimmer of Marikate.

In addition we have our 'juniors' - Mwanamatapa Twilite Treacle, Mwanamatapa Crimson Comet, Mwanamatapa I'Peppa Re, - Treacle, Comet and Peppa and Mwanamatapa Injasuti Re and Mwanamatapa Galactic Glimmer - Ninja and Glimmer.

There is a special page for Marikate Kwisa Ye Mono - Yemo - who was so tragically taken from us at the tender age of 11 months.

Prior to 1992, it had been many years since this wonderful breed had been seen in the Southern African show rings. It is rewarding to now see that Basenjis (although numerically small) are consistent Group and Best in Show contenders.

Our policy with regard to the reintroduction of the breed here is to educate about the breed. As experienced Basenji breeders know, this is not a breed for every person and it is important to point this out to prospective Basenji owners. We receive numerous enquiries on a daily basis from people who have been delighted by tales of this unique breed and believe that they would like to own one.

All of our Basenjis are lovingly reared in a family environment (regardless of their show prospects) and when placing puppies, we look for the same kind of environment to place them in. We test wherever possible for health defects in our dogs although the testing available in South Africa is not up to the same standard as elsewhere in the world.
