At last!!
Let's hope it's not just about
what goes into or comes out of the park, but also
who!

Realistically this could not have happened overnight. Budget approval,training ,recruitment would have taken time. But it is a good step to gaining control,if managed correctly.

Excellent! Not sure how it is linked to Mozambique, though?

I know, but those gates are low-volume International Ports of Entry, crawling with cops!
The other 9 have nothing to do with Moz!
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing rangers with sniffer dogs at Pafuri Border Post! -O

I am just wondering - all action happens central and south -\
why would Pafuri be a hot-spot.
That's a long way to travel to get away.
This is an honest question.

Glad you don't ask dishonest questions, Amoli! -O
Pafuri is not a hotspot regarding rhino poaching carcasses discovered at all!
But there have been exhaustive discussion on the unroadworthy vehicles entering from Moz there to do shopping in SA via Punda or Pafuri exit gates on the Western side.
All sorts of promises were made that they would have to overnight in a camp etc, as per Giryondo too.
Ain't happening!
This media release lends itself to rhino, but security issues are more than that.

Not sure where they have "beefed up" security???
I was in the park this morning and Phala gate is still as lacks as ever!
I also tested something else, I will post this as soon as I have loaded the pics from my camera.
