Twee vas met ammunisie. Nege renosters is tot dusver vanjaar gestroop en een olifant is vir sy ivoor afgemaai. Volgens die woordvoerder van die ministerie van die omgewing, bosbou en toerisme, mnr. Romeo Muyunda, is die meerderheid van dié renosters op private plase gestroop. Twee Namibiese mans wat na ­bewering 'n renoster probeer stroop het, is voorverlede Woensdag in hegtenis geneem.

Nine rhinos have been stripped so far this year and one elephant has been mowed for its ivory. According to the spokesperson of the Ministry of the Environment, Forestry and Tourism, Mr. Romeo Muyunda, the majority of these rhinos were stripped on private farms. Two Namibian men allegedly trying to steal a rhino were arrested on Wednesday. According to the weekly wildlife crime report of the Namibian Police's Unit for Protected Resources and the Ministry of the Environment, Forestry and Tourism's Intelligence and Investigation Unit, the men were arrested in Oshakati.
