From Lowvelder:

26 September 2012 | Nicolene Smalman

Volgens 'n polisiebron het veldwagters Sondag die Sabierivier by Skukuza gepatrolleer. Hulle het mans opgemerk wat gesit en visvang het en hulle genader. Die mans het opgespring en weggehardloop en die veldwagters het waarskuwingskote met hulle R1-aanvalsgewere geskiet.


Een van hulle het later na die veldwagters teruggekom en gesê dat sy makker raakgeskiet is. Hy is in die onderbeen getref en na Rob Ferreira Hospitaal op Nelspruit gebring. Visnette en strikke is in hulle besit gekry. Mnr. Rodney Mabuzu (29) het Dinsdag in die hof verskyn. Die ander verdagte word nog in die hospitaal behandel en mag nie geïdentifiseer word voordat hy nie in die hof verskyn het nie.


Briefly translated:

Rangers found men fishing illegally in the Sabie River on Sunday. When they ran away, warning shots were fired. One of the men, later returned and told the rangers another had been hit. He was taken to hospital with a wound to the lower leg. Illegal nets and snares were found in their possession. Mr Rodney Mabuzu (29) appeared in court on Tuesday, and the other one will be identified once he has appeared in court.

In today's Lowvelder:

The fish poacher had his lower leg amputated and is suing the rangers for attempted murder... :-?

:shock: This is so typical, the criminals have more rights than law abiding citizens. Poachers should have their heads amputated! :evil:

This is the reason why they should shoot to kill, and the crocodiles will leave no evidence O** O**

True, we are not allowed to poison then crocs! \O

We are in favour of both fauna and flora...

Save the crocs by not poisoning them, help the flora by turning them into compost. X#X
