This is one of the answers I got back:

Nope - they only ever give out arrests and I have often seen arrests confused as convictions - there is from time to time some sort of picture that is given in presentations but the stuff I have is old.

Or it is kept quite, but most likely scenario is that nobody knows. O/ O/ O/ O/

What I did find out is that the conviction rate 2 years ago was about 30%.

It will not be much higher now.

That means that although Sanparks claims a much higher percentage of poachers being caught, which is not true as we all have calculated, still a large amount of those monsters are out to kill and kill again. 0*\ 0*\ O-/ O-/ (0) (0)
