The race concept of the AfrikaPro Premier One Loft series is to crown ‘genius-level fanciership and strategy’ in breeding world-class racing pigeon genetics.

This annual AfrikaPro Premier One Loft Series, owned by President Cyril Ramaphosa, wrapped up its fourth season with Race 10, the grand finale, held on 10 October at his Phala Phala Wildlife farm in Limpopo.

The final race of the 17th SA Million Dollar Pigeon Race saw results based on the quality and fitness of the top pigeons on the day, says Thomas Smit.

Renowned SA vet Dr Ockert Botha says maintaining optimal pigeon health requires a 365-days-a-year programme.
