On 2 May 2012 a horrific act of cruelty took place at Kariega Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape. The gruesome scene of three white rhinos with their horns hacked off lying in pools of their own blood is etched in our memories forever.

The Eastern Cape rhino poaching crisis has not abated. All anti-poaching teams in our area remain on high alert after another week of intense activity by rhino poachers. Humans remains, a high powered rifle, gloves, wire cutters and the remains of a back pack were found on Tuesday 3 July at our neighbours Sibuya Game Reserve. It seems that poachers walked into a pride of lions and some, if not all were killed.

Nine rhinos have been killed by poachers in our Eastern Cape province this year alone. More than 7,000 have been killed in South Africa in the past decade.
