Abstract:

Right after wildlife dealer Johan Lombaard was released on bail earlier this week, he was arrested again in connection with a case dating back to 2014. The 57-year-old appeared in the Gobabis Magistrate's Court on Wednesday for the illegal capture and transport of game to the value of N$817 000. He and his co- accused, his brother Johannes Jacobus Lombaaard (54) and Rudie Kotze (49), were granted N$50 000 bail each. The Lombaard brothers established Golden Game, a wildlife farming, capturing and export business in Mariental. They were arrested alongside Kotze earlier this month in connection with the illegal capture and transport of 28 blue and nine black wildebeest at Farm Reitz in the Leonardville area, with the intent to sell the animals. The three were charged with illegally transporting game or game meat under the Nature Conservation Ordinance and for selling and purchasing game without a permit.
