A cooperative effort between police and anti-poaching officials broke up an illegal hunting operation that had been taking place at private Mpumalanga game reserve.
Acting on a tip, Badplaas police and the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency’s (MTPA) anti-poaching unit arrested 20 people for illegally hunting birds, small antelope, bush pigs, and warthogs at the Nkomazi Game Reserve. The suspects - 14 men and six minors - appeared in court last week, and are scheduled to appear again in September.
