Media Statement POLOKWANE – Members of the Stock Theft and Endangered Species Unit in Limpopo have launched a manhunt for suspects involved in a rhino poaching incident in Tshilwavhusiku, Vhembe district. On 20 and 22 September 2024, an employee discovered that only one rhino appeared for feeding at Makhado policing precinct, sparking an investigation. Tragically, the search revealed a dead white rhino, missing both horns, with five bullet wounds – three to the head and two to the body. This heinous crime has sparked a massive manhunt for the suspects responsible. “We will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of those responsible for this senseless killing. Rhino poaching is a serious crime that threatens our precious wildlife. We need the help of community to bring these perpetrators to book, “said Acting Provincial Commissioner Major General Samuel Manala. The police are appealing to anyone with information to come forward and contact the Investigating Officer Sergeant Enva Ensebo Mukhari on 076 130 2320 or Crime Stop number at 08600 10111 or report anonymously through the MySAPS App. Ends
