Go! readers are inspired by beauty of national parks

Each month, the magazine publishes clues for the hide-and-seek hunt to entice readers to discover in which national park the grand prize, a Mahindra XUV500 with accessories to the value of R355 000, has been hidden. With the August issue currently on shelves countrywide, nature lovers still have two chances to win prizes such as 4x4 accessories, camera equipment, gift vouchers, binoculars and SANpark holidays, and the grand prize of the 4x4 vehicle.

"Hide-and-seek fever has taken the country by storm," says editor-in-chief Barnie Louw. "We have been overwhelmed by the public response. We have had extensive feedback from readers telling us how the whole family has become involved in the search for clues. We wanted to inspire people to embrace our national parks and realise how incredibly privileged we are as South Africans to have nature's bounty right on our doorstep. I would like to encourage the public to keep submitting entries as there are still the August and September issues to search for clues, and still loads of prizes to be won."

Final clues in September issues

According to SANParks general manager Bheki Zwane they are delighted with the response to the competition. "It is encouraging that thousands of South Africans have taken the opportunity to once again explore our 19 national parks. I have to congratulate the magazine on the innovative way it has structured the competition. It is extremely well researched and has led readers to rediscover not only the incredible scenic beauty of our parks, but also to learn more about their history, culture and archaeology."

The final set of clues will be published in the September issues of go! and Weg magazines, on shelf from 13 August. Additional clues are provided on the magazines' websites and Facebook pages, or watch Expresso weekday mornings on SABC3.
