Ashraf Sayed
Secretary
 

Ashraf Sayed first attempted to join Honorary Rangers was back in February 1990 at the age of 19. The response from the then National Parks Board was that he was too young and should re-apply once 25. In February 1998, he joined the Bushveld Region whilst based in Phalaborwa. On 31 January 2001 he relocated back to Johannesburg whereupon he transferred his HR membership to the Johannesburg region. It was in 2001 and then in 2003 that the idea of starting a region in the South of Johannesburg was born with the aim of taking the conservation message back to his home town. In this time he has served as an Honorary Ranger on the following National Projects: Counter Poaching (now Ranger Support Services and PEAP), Veterinary Wildlife Services (previously Game Capture), Bushcamp committee, National Quiz, served on the National Executive Committee for 2 years, served as Vice Chairman of the Johannesburg Region, Chairman of Johannesburg South region and is now the Secretary of the Johannesburg South Region.
