'n Boer en verskeie plaaswerkers in die Omatjette-omgewing moes die afgelope naweek die handdoek ingooi nadat hulle vir langer as tien ure tevergeefs op die spoor van gemsbokstropers was. Die stropers het na raming minstens 60 km geloop om een gemsbok te slag. Volgens die boer op wie se plaas geslag is, is daar so ver gestap omdat daar moontlik nie meer wild op nabygeleë plase oor is nie.

A farmer and several farm workers in the Omatjette area had to throw in the towel this past weekend after they had been on the trail of chamois poachers for more than ten hours in vain. The poachers are estimated to have walked at least 60 km to slaughter one gemsbok. According to the farmer on whose farm it was slaughtered, they walked so far because there may be no more game left on nearby farms.
