The new Minister of Environment and Tourism says he will prioritise anti-poaching initiatives, including extra security measures at the Etosha National Park, which has seen four cases of rhino poaching recently. In the latest poaching incident, the carcass of a young rhino bull was discovered at the Dolomite waterhole in Etosha this past Friday. The rhino’s horns were still intact and it had been shot three times. Police are still investigating the case and there are currently no suspects. Speaking to Namibian Sun yesterday, Minister Pohamba Shifeta said after the latest incident in Etosha the ministry decided on measures that would be implemented to curb poaching in Etosha. Namibia last year recorded 24 cases of rhino poaching, of which three were in Etosha.
