Ses vermeende renosterstropers en een ivoorsmokkelaar is verlede week in hegtenis geneem. Die drie beskuldigdes van die stropery van 'n ver dragtige witrenosterkoei by 'n lodge in die Gobabis-distrik verlede naweek is mnre. Zondundi Tjipuiko, Frederik Hamukoto en Tjimbaka Mbatiminua. Hulle is vasgetrek nadat boere, die K9-teenstropingseenheid en spoorsnyers hul spore tot by die informele nedersetting in Gobabis gevolg het waar hulle met voertuie gevlug het. Gobabis se polisie het 'n padblokkade buite die dorp opgestel waar dié drie glo met 'n jaggeweer en 22 patrone in hul besit in hegtenis geneem is. Die verdagtes met die renosterhorings is nog soek.

Six suspected rhino poachers and one ivory smuggler were arrested last week. The three accused of poaching a heavily pregnant white rhino cow at a lodge in the Gobabis district last weekend are Messrs. Zondundi Tjipuiko, Frederik Hamukoto and Tjimbaka Mbatiminua. They were arrested after farmers, the K9 anti-poaching unit and trackers followed their tracks to the informal settlement in Gobabis where they fled by vehicle. Gobabis' police have set up a roadblock outside the town where the three were allegedly arrested with a shotgun and 22 cartridges in their possession. The suspects with the rhino horns are still wanted.
