A bunch of incapables

Disgusting!!! If this is the way to save our rhinos.........

If this is true I would like to hear the excuse they can cook up
I still doubt that it can be true. It is simply too outrageous

It is disgusting Lis
If it was not trrue I think Oxpecker would not publish as they could have legal issues. Like you, waiting to see the spin on this. Just maybe this outrageous plan is not true.

Hmmm lets wait and see - this should have happened a long time ago methinks!
The public protector, Thuli Madonsela, was asked by a Johannesburg attorney, Christopher Bean, to investigate SANParks and the Department of Environmental Affairs for "maladministration in the combating of rhino poaching in the Kruger".
Bean said in his letter that it was urgent that Madonsela investigate SANParks and the department because both entities were in favour of selling South Africa's rhino horn stockpile, amounting to 20 tons and worth about R10-billion.
Bean said such a sale would conflict "with their fiduciary and constitutional obligation" to preserve rhinos.
Cape Town aviation firm Advanced Aviation Logistics has offered SANParks seven heavy-duty Russian helicopters - capable of moving three to four rhinos a day - to help with the evacuation of rhinos.
DA environment spokeswoman Terri Stander said the party would lodge a complaint with the public protector asking for an investigation into the failings behind rhino conservation.

It would also be lovely to know what the prices are for Kruger Rhino now...one would suspect private owners wouldn't buy so many in the current climate without a great deal?

There was a price somewhere (for the 250/60) in one of the first posts, but I cannot find it anymore

It's mentioned where there is the phrase that they are not doing it for the money
