A decade after a Kruger rhino was killed, the court delivered its answer

A former Kruger National Park regional ranger and a state veterinary technician have been found guilty of illegally killing a white rhino and firearm offenses, closing a case that stretched roughly ten years. The Skukuza Regional Court verdict lands as a win for the rangers who protect South Africa’s rhinos — SANParks called it a significant victory against wildlife crime. Poachers take years to catch; this one shows the net eventually closes.
