BEPR Chairman, Gerald Draper said, “As a project, we are happy to adopt this name going forward and just wish all the best for the eagle couple.”

Gerald also mentioned that they are waiting for the sex of Makatsa’s deceased chick to be revealed, but the laboratory at Onderstepoort has not come back to them yet.
