Three alleged poachers arrested in Hluhluwe, KZN
Three people were arrested for alleged poaching inside the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park in the northern KwaZulu-Natal. This was confirmed by the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife on Sunday, which said the trio were arrested before they could kill a rhino. The first man was arrested on June 6 and two others were caught two days later. These arrest bring the number of alleged poachers caught inside the Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park this year to five. "The Park has been under siege since the beginning of 2022. The park at times has to deal with three to five different groups of poachers who enter the Park from different directions at more or less the same time. "To date, 123 rhinos have been poached in KwaZulu Natal in both public and private game reserves," said Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife spokesperson, Musa Mtambo.
