Johannesburg - SA National Parks (SANParks) has
suspended its head of conservation services Hector Magome, it said on Tuesday.
"We can confirm that SANPark's managing
executive... has been put on precautionary suspension," spokesperson
Reynold Thakhuli said.
He declined to give further details, saying the
matter was "not for public consumption".
Thakhuli did, however, confirm that the contract of
Pathfinder, a company involved in the collection of rhino poaching information,
had been terminated.
"Pathfinder’s contract has been terminated and
as an organisation we are not compelled to give reasons for termination of this
contract as it is a matter between client and service provider," he said.
Beeld reported that the company's contract was
valid until February 2016.
The newspaper reported there was infighting at
SANParks, which Thakhuli denied.
"We are not aware of any infighting and we
would like to refute these claims in the strongest terms," he said.
