Ses Boishaaiers het van 29 Desember 2022 tot 16 Januarie 2023 aan die jaarlikse Kalahari Vasbyt (aangebied deur mnr Andries Erwee) deelgeneem. Hulle is Hennie Rall, Pieter Daniël Smit, Werner Botha, James Brink, Minnaar Oosthuizen en Pietie Lubbe (nie op foto). Die kursus is fisiek en geestelik uitdagend. Dit ontwikkel onder andere dissipline, groepswerk, deursettingsvermoë en leierseienskappe. Die jong manne is die eerste paar dae gasvry deur Monde Primêre Skool in Hwange, Zimbabwe gehuisves, van waar hulle dan verder deur Botswana tot in die Sentraal-Kalahari gereis en menige nag in die veld gekamp het. Hul fisieke aktiwiteite het onder meer ’n witwatervaart, brugsprong by die Victoria-waterval en ’n 55 km-roetemars ingesluit. Al die Boishaaiers het die Vasbyt met meriete geslaag.
