Two Botswana nationals, Rhine Morgan Kemsley, 35, and Mothusi Malcom Lefa, 49, suspected of illegally possessing and dealing pangolin, an endangered species, have had their day in court. An all-encompassing law enforcement team, according to Captain Lloyd Ramovha of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks), made the arrest. This started when the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation (SOCI), K9 Unit, Johannesburg Metro Police (JMPD), and Gauteng Traffic Police Special Law Enforcement Unit (SLEU) began investigating information regarding a person in possession of a pangolin. "On arrival, officers located a silver VW Polo with Botswana registration plates. Inside the vehicle, a speaker box containing the pangolin was discovered," Ramovha said. The operation was conducted at approximately 10am in the morning at a road lodge, located at the street corners of Grayston and Rivonia, in Sandton," Ramovha said.
