Three held for Rhino poaching in Limpopo

Three men have been arrested in connection with rhino poaching in Bela Bela, Limpopo police say.

They were part of a gang of six which tried to dehorn a rhino at a game farm on Thursday, Lt-Col Mohale Ramatseba said.

He said the rhino was injured, but not killed as security guards interrupted the men.

Three of them were arrested in the vicinity on Friday and would appear in the Bela Bela Magistrate's Court later on Monday.

The other three were still on the run.
