Not sure about those figures...and over what period of time the figures are from?

But good luck to him! \O

Haven't been on for a while...desperately wanted to escape Jhb and we were able to get a booking in the South the weekend of the 11th October. We specifically saw two rhinos sleeping on the side of one road and they were there for 2 - 3 days. Were they maybe drugged? They weren't interested in moving at all or barely opened an eye. I believe Monday 14th there were poaching in the area? At least, according to Radio Lowveld.

According to a workshop today the amount of killings in Kruger stans now at 512.

If that is true we are now at 537
