For nearly two decades, Tobie owned a mixed veterinary practice in Witbank. In 2015, he sold his practice to focus on game farming, a pursuit that also allowed him to engage in wildlife-related veterinary work. In 2018, he returned to the Highveld, where he ran a small-animal and mixed practice in Middelburg for four years. In the last three years of his life, he worked as a rural veterinarian in the Middelburg area, continuing to leave an indelible mark on the community.1 Page; colour photoPDFen©2023 Veterinary History Society of the South African Veterinary Association.
