A suspect was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport yesterday while trying to smuggle rhino horn out of the country.
Two notorious “Boere rhino-horn mafia” members have been hit with jail sentences for a devastating poaching spree.
It would appear that authorities are finally starting to make serious inroads into the rhino horn trafficking underworld. A suspected kingpin, and former Mpumalanga police officer, was arrested on Friday in Hazyview. He was found with four rhino horns, and over R60 000 in his possession.
