Durban - Rhino horns worth in excess of R230 million intercepted at the OR Tambo International Airport between July last year and February this year were being kept at a secure location, said Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) Barbara Creecy. She was responding to written parliamentary questions submitted by the DA’s David Bryant. He had asked about the whereabouts of the rhino horns and whether they had been destroyed. Creecy said private security companies employed by Airports Company SA (Acsa) and the warehouse operators/ cargo handlers who were responsible for manning the X-ray machines, SA Revenue Service (Sars) Customs, the SAPS, Hawks and DFFE Environmental Management Inspectors were involved in the busts. Between July last year and February this year, the Sars Customs Detector Dog Unit was instrumental in curbing four major rhino horn trafficking bids totalling R234 114 205.77. Collectively, the horns weighed 277.3kg.
