Northern Cape rhino poaching has Dundee links
The rhinos were dehorned and other farm workers, who are originally from Thabazimbi in Limpopo and other areas, are believed to be also linked to the poaching.
A man implicated in the poaching of two rhinos in the Colesberg area has been arrested in Forestdale, Dundee.
Members of the Glencoe Stocktheft Unit, Warrant Officers Kruger and Rheeders and Constable Khoza swooped on a container tuckshop in Forestdale last Wednesday afternoon.
They apprehended a Malawian national who claimed to be working on behalf of another person at the tuckshop.
The Glencoe Stocktheft Unit was asked to trace the man who fled a game farm in Colesburg, in the Northern Cape, after two rhinos had been poached in July.
The rhinos were dehorned and other farm workers, who are originally from Thabazimbi in Limpopo and other areas, are believed to be also linked to the poaching.
The man has been taken to Colesberg where he has appeared in Court.
He was named as Eburra James and previously lived in Dundee before leaving to work on the game farm.
