They have never stopped selling , well over a decade now. It is part of their budget and bugger the poaching and dwindling numbers.
They sell from Kruger.

They say not, but it is obviously difficult to monitor!

Since the late 1990s, a large fraction of the white rhinos removed was sold to generate conservation revenue. By the end of 2010, a total of 1402 white rhinos have been removed from the Park. - Sam Ferreira

General sales to once-off buyers at auction I think, Lis?
