  Earning themselves a degree in wackiness and courage, Konica Minolta South Africa employees: Richard Berg, Dane Becker, Andre Idas and Stephen Spies, took part in the Red Bull Flugtag, soaring (this term is used loosely) into the sky on a rhino.
  The Red Bull Flugtag is an event organised by Red Bull in which competitors attempt to fly homemade, size and weight limited, human-powered flying machines.
  These flying machines were launched off a six metre high ramp at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. More than 220,000 spectators attended the December 2012 event.
  Known as team bizhub Warriors, the four brave men were one of only 41 teams selected out of 200 entries to "change aviation as we know it" and "fly" from dry land into the icy harbour water.
  Amidst the thrills and comedy, team bizhub Warriors' main goal was to raise awareness of the brutal killing of 668 rhino in 2012. The company has placed a strong emphasis on the plight of the rhino since 2011 through both stakeholder communication and contributing to WWF's African Rhino Programme, which supports RhODIS.
