Around 2:20 p.m. on May 8, rangers spotted the suspects near Gorge Block. Two of the men attempted to hide under an antbear burrow but were located and apprehended.

 

The pair now face charges related to illegal possession of a firearm, ammunition, and trespassing in the protected area. They are expected to appear in the Skukuza Periodical Court soon.

Authorities continue to search for the third suspect who fled during the operation.
