| Marna Cilliers-Hartslief |
| Company: Green Vision Productions |
 Marna is the Founding member of Green Vision Productions and Green Vision Foundation. Marna has been travelling the world for the past 24 years, initially as her academic studies took her to England where she pursued a career in Human Factors Engineering, Information Technology and as Multi-media specialist. In her subsequent role as specialist consultant in International Marketing in the Aviation Industry she was involved as Project Manager in large international marketing projects and worked in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, France, Dubai, Malaysia, Australia, and Israel as well as managing programmes in Saudi Arabia and Algeria. A keen sportswoman and outdoor enthusiast, she has traversed the Alps on numerous snow and glacier skiing expeditions and visited numerous “off the beaten track” destinations world wide. During her hiking excusions, she engaged with local people and mixed with different cultures on treks in Nepal and Everest and while working on the Turkish border with Syria.

A keen underwater enthusiast, she has 20 years of experience as a scuba diver and has explored the waters of the Maldives, the Malaysian coast, the Red Sea, Mozambique and Australia, developing an interest in underwater photography. Born and bred in South Africa, her international travels triggered the search into her African identity, which stimulated the quest into a better understanding of the African Heritage in the world context. Marna’s keen interest in cultural and natural history, led her to the compilation of the publication "Essence of a Land: South Africa and its World Heritage Sites" (Edited by Max du Preez, Photography by Tim Hauf). Marna has been instrumental to the establishment of www.saworldheritage.com, a comprehensive digital repository on the South African World Heritage Sites for the South African National Heritage Council. As a dedicated conservationist, experienced in venturing into the bush and the African wilderness, Marna is also a keen photographer and filmmaker, having completed a course in film making at the Wildlife Film Academy in Cape Town. Marna’s vast experience in Project Management prepared her for large scale productions. She will co-direct the production of a 13 part broadcast television series, leading a team of women on the "African Heritage Epic", a journey from Alexandria in Egypt to Robben Island in South Africa that will cover 22 countries and 55 World Heritage Sites in Africa, filming in Full HD. Her Multi-media and IT experience further contributes towards the development of a Multi-media Digital Visual Repository with web-based presence throughout the journey, covering the World Heritage Sites of Africa plus compilation of a coffee table book on these sites.

| Cecil Gericke |
| Company: Private |
 Cecil Gericke developed his first Black and White photos at the age of fourteen in his home town Mossel Bay. He has been hooked on photography ever since. Insists on being a generalist when it comes to the topic. Scientific photos, macro shots, wildlife, landscapes, sport action, photojournalism, model shoots, portraits, abstract shots. "Letting light speak" is the best summary of his approach to the work. Dedicated to digital. A predisposition towards anything Nikon is his only bias - for him it merely certainty!
