Abstract:

The long-running rhino poaching trial involving former Kruger National Park (KNP) ranger Rodney Landela and his co-accused, Kenneth Motshotsho, is set to return to the Skukuza Regional Court this week, with proceedings now scheduled for May 28 and 29. The matter, which has been before the court for approximately a decade, was postponed during its most recent appearance as the continuation of the trial remains subject to ongoing procedural matters.
