MBABANE- Melusi ‘Zox’ Dlamini has nailed it for the rhinos. Dlamini, who is the Local Marketing Coordinator of Big Game Parks, painted his nails to get people to take part in the running ‘Nail it for Rhinos’ competition.


He explained that the competition was initiated by the Big Game Parks to commemorate World Rhino Day in style.
“The day which is observed by the rest of the world falls on September 22. This year marks it as the fifth year that the world will commemorate this day.”


He said they only required the ladies to be creative with their nails.
“They can colour them, shape them or fake them; then take selfies (with the highlight of the picture being their nail craft) and share them on our official Big Game Parks Instagram, Facebook and Twitter handles with the caption #NailItForRhinos.”
Dlamini said the social media platforms to share the photographs with were


@biggamparks (twitter),@BigGameParks (Instagram),Big Game Parks (Facebook), the participant’s salon name and own handle.
He explained that the motivation behind this competition was entirely based on the fact that the rhino horn was made from a substance called Keratin which was the same material found in human nails.

“The rhino is an endangered species which is continentally in crisis of extinction,” he submitted. So by this they wanted to create awareness and eradicate the situation. Dlamini mentioned that the most creative participant would walk away with one night for two people at Hlane Royal National Park plus a rhino game drive.


He also extended an invitation to salons to participate by offering a manicure/pedicure prize alongside to stimulate more interest.
“We hope that if the client wins, the salon owner can join the winner on the game drive and offer the prize at her salon.”


He explained that the prize would be redeemed at the winner’s salon, only if the client wins. Dlamini urged the Swazi community to help take a stand to save the rhino by getting involved with the Nail it for Rhinos Campaign.  The competition is expected to start on September 1 until September 22 which is the World Rhino Day.
