No we’re not talking about dentist / most hated man in the world Walter Palmer, we’re talking about the actual professional hunter who helped lure Cecil onto a neighbouring farm where Palmer did the dirty.

52-year-old Theo Bronkhorst has apparently been abducted from his home in Bulawayo, police nabbing him in connection with a separate wildlife controversy. eNCA reports:

Bronkhorst, 52, spent two days in police detention last week because of his involvement with three South Africans who had been arrested for trying to cross an “undesignated” border between South Africa and Zimbabwe, with a cargo of 29 sable antelope.

Three of the sable antelope died from dehydration after the South Africa-registered truck in which they were being transported, got stuck in sand in the middle of the Limpopo River.

Bronkhorst told police after his arrest last week he had imported the sable into Zimbabwe from Zambia and that the majority of animals were bought by the three South Africans.

He also told police that he had paid for about a dozen of the animals for his own breeding https://www.buydiazepamcheaponline.org programme in Zimbabwe.

Bronkhorst was not charged during last week’s detention and it is reported that he had the necessary documentation for the sable in question. The three South African men who accompanied Bronkhorst were not so fortunate and are currently in jail, bail having been denied two weeks ago.

The latest incident saw Bronkorst allegedly taken from his house and driven to Beit Bridge for questioning, Theo saying yesterday he will make another court appearance early this morning:

Bronkhorst said: “I feel very bad about this, as I do not know why I have been taken away from my home in Bulawayo to Beit Bridge.”

I imagine he will find any sympathy hard to come by, given his involvement in the killing of Cecil, and the worst may well be still to come. He will appear in court again on September 28 on charges of leading that illegal hunt.
