RHINO FRIDAYs
The Managing Executive- Conservation Services of SANParks Dr. Hector Magome spoke on SA.FM this week. Amongst other things, he mentioned that 80% of the rhino being poached out of our iconic Kruger National Park, are being poached on the Mozambiquan side, over which our rangers and military have no Jurisdiction. Furthermore, it was said that it is not illegal in Mozambique, to be in possession of rhino horn ie; not a crime. ( I have not been able to confirm that this is indeed so )
Last year, South Africa and Mozambique signed an M.O.U. ( Memorandum Of Understanding) specifically regarding rhino poaching, with Mozambique agreeing to do all it can to stop this scourge from their side. We urge Mozambiques High Commissioner to South Africa, based in Pretoria to adhere to the terms of the M.O.U signed with South Africa and make rhino poaching a priority crime in Mozambique.
