South Africa is losing more than two rhinos a day to poachers and if the current trend continues, come year end the national population will be down by 913, a staggering 245 more than were killed last year. Arrests in connection with rhino poaching nationally currently stand at 121, with 56 of these in the Kruger National Park and while no nationality details of those arrested are disclosed, the majority are believed to be Mozambicans. This is evidenced from SANParks statements on rhino poaching this year and last. defenceweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=30834:rhino-carnage-continues&catid=87:border-security&Itemid=188
