Poachers Arrested

On Tuesday, 27th August 2013, in a combined intelligence driven operation outside the Kruger National Park between SANParks and the South African Police Service, two suspected rhino poachers were arrested and charged with "Conspiracy to Illegally Hunt Rhino" in the Kruger National Park with assistance from internal concessionaire staff.

In another incident, during the early evening of 27th August 2013 in the Mahlangeni section of the Kruger National Park rangers made contact with a group of three suspected rhino poachers.


One of the poachers armed with a rifle was fatally wounded. A .458 hunting rifle, ammunition and other equipment were recovered.

The remaining two suspects managed to escape into the darkness.
