This portal operates on the same don't-fix-it-till-it-breaks-down principle as our Land-Rovers and when maintenance is required, the preferred method is of the baling-wire-and-fencing-pliers type.

On a serious note:

A fellow BraaiGridder, Alan Drodskie, was murdered by bandits in Ethiopia earlier this year whilst on an overland trip with his wife and children en route to Libya. His Land-Rover was abandoned in Gonder, Ethiopia.

The BraaiGrid sprang into action and ensured that by the time Alan's wife, Corrie, got back to South Africa, there was money available for her to use in her trust account. The BraaiGrid principally, if not solely, has been responsible for raising a significant amount of money which has made the recovery and repatriation of Alan's (now Corrie's) Land-Rover possible.

Donations have been forthcoming from Land-Rover enthusiasts and other overland travellers from all over the globe. A couple of suppliers of products have even donated goods which have been or are being auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Drodskie Help Fund.
