Rhino Poaching: Arrests, Prosecutions & Sentencing

[Peter Betts]

Is Madam Agnes still a Section Ranger?

Stephen Midzi was the actual Vlakteplaas section ranger in June 2012

Is S Midze the Dude with the dreadlocks and Rastafarian large woolen beret to hold it all in!!!!???? You know how ridiculous that looked (like that Air Force overweight colonal in her uniform and pink slippers) when I met with the Northern Rangers at Letaba recently; Johann Oelofse in his Parks uniform, shaved and hair neatly cut.

Bumped into to rangers casually strolling from the veldt.
Got tied -up in converse about rhino horn,and in no uncertain
way did this dude explain why many "officials" are involved!!

The conversation was based on lack of re-muneration, ........
at the most critical time of conservation ethics!

I was sad when he was found poaching White Rhino

Ja, Peter...the point is he was ostracised and left Kruger fast...which is the right thing! No sympathy there!

It is not a valid excuse for poaching, but I am convinced that if they were paid properly there would be more attention and less "who cares" at the gates, in the camps, at reception and in the field.

Quite correct Lis!

If you pay peanuts, you have monkeys....I wonder what RP gets paid??

[Lisbeth]

Probably to little......all teachers are paid to little, for the terrible job they have to do

[Richprins]

There's no excuse, I'm afraid! When you sign up you know the parameters and consequences!

[H. erectus]

Hah RP gets overpaid!! teaching has become\
offset guilt feeling!!
