Addressing a crowd at a ceremony to sign an anti-poaching agreement
between South Africa and Mozambique in the Kruger National Park earlier
this month, Edna Molewa, Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs,
mentioned in a speech signifying her departments move toward a possible
trade in rhino horn, that “we do think that it could (win the war on
rhino poaching)… just taking it from the lessons we have learnt from
ivory. We did an ivory once-off sale and elephant poaching has not been a
problem since.”
Technically this statement isn't a crime but it damn well ought to be.
Total No of Rhinos slaughtered in South Africa to End of December 2021 = 451 Official figures. Note: the number of wild rhinos in Kruger has declined from 3,500 to 2,800 in one year.
