Cross-Border Poaching KNP - Mozambique

[Richprins]

Whooh! This is fantastic!

That is a massive bust, and well done, Orlando!

As said, he is literally putting his body on the line!

[Richprins]

As said, it is becoming more and more disturbing now that Mozambiquans neighbouring Kruger think it is wonderful that this rhino bounty has fallen into their corrupt and short-sighted laps.

Now there it is the new culture..."If you have not killed a rhino, or done a poaching expedition, you are not a man"...

[Lisbeth]

Oh no! This was not needed

[Richprins]

It is so sad and manipulative for kingpins to invent this sort of crap to further indoctrinate their footsoldiers. Extremely contemptuous of their own uneducated people.

They obviously do not mention to them that a MINIMUM of 250 Mozzies have already been killed by antipoaching in Kruger...

[Mel]

Why don't the Mozzies know those numbers anyway? I mean, information flow works excellently for anything else one would think?

[Richprins]

They know they have a good chance of getting killed, Mello! For years know. They call it "going to Marikana". The desperate footsoldier who is now thinking twice about going, now is called "not a man" if he doesn't, which is the point!

The actual total deaths was only admitted officially this year, I think? Not all the villages will know the total.

The desperate footsoldier who is now thinking twice about going, now is called "not a man" if he doesn't, which is the point!

Not unexpected... unfortunately
