Aucamp has moved fast up the DA ranks. From a humble councillor in a small municipality in 2016 nobody has ever heard of to now to a deputy minister!

However, deeper analysis reveals a more complex story tied to environmental politics. George, seen as a progressive voice, clashed with powerful wildlife breeders and ranchers who profit from activities like captive lion breeding, hunting, and trading animal parts. His policies aimed to reform the sector, including closing the captive lion industry through updated Threatened or Protected Species (TOPS) regulations and promoting coexistence with wildlife rather than exploitation. At the COP30 Leaders’ Summit in Belém, Brazil, he spoke against the commodification of animals, arguing for respect and shared heritage.

Critics argue that George’s sacking was orchestrated by these industry players, who form groups like Wildlife Ranching South Africa and the Sustainable Use Coalition of Southern Africa (SUCo-SA). They pushed for deregulation to boost profits, such as easier culling of elephants and sales of by-products like meat or ivory. The timing is suspicious – the call to remove him came right after a workshop finalised lion breeding rules and elephant strategies. Insiders describe it as a “capture” of the department by commercial interests, reversing two decades of conservation reforms.

Interesting rise for Aucamp, from being a ward councillor in 2016 to Minister in 2025, the man is on a roll.

He must be very lucky or knows the right people.
