I'd be interested to know too.
So how many registered R.E.F.F.I.S / THETA guides are there in SA?

Whenever you find that you are on the side of the majority, it is time to reform

I don't think REFFIS has an agent in SA any longer.

I don't think you can declare yourself a guide either although it seems quite common :-)
“Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you” ― Lemmy Kilmister

I think Jonathan Boulton has it on his website that him and some guys in the store are registered...

The accreditations of these guides are (no longer) accepted/recognised by CATHSSETA (previously THETA).

Just saw on Jonathan's website (Mavungana Flyfishing was started by Jonathan Boulton (Bsc - Zoo/Geog -Univ Natal Pmb, R.E.F.F.I.S - UK) )
Uhm, what does the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa (FGASA) cover.
I am a bit confused here - seems like we have a ton of 'guides" who declared themselves guides though.
Do you have to belong to a Association of some sort to be a guide?
Are people like Jaques Marais and Dennis de Klerk guides?

In my mind its misinterpretation if there is no body that you can belong to why the hell would you refer to yourself as a REFISS guide? lol :tongue:
