Honeymoon over for poachers - Shifeta
While several new cases of rhino poaching have been discovered in Namibia the new Minister of Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, says he will not tolerate complacency from staff members, especially in areas where repeated poaching is happening. Five rhino carcases were discovered about two weeks ago during a rhino dehorning exercise in the Kunene Region. Four of these rhinos had been poached, the ministry confirmed. The rhinos were presumably shot last year already and the carcasses were found in the area of Omatendeka. There have also been new reports of rhino poaching in the Etosha National Park which were still being investigated last week. "I order that the honeymoon of poachers should be stopped," Shifeta said.
