WitnessKZN Yes I am 100% against hunting but it's years of illegal hunting with dogs to blame, and the authorities doing nothing. (Ekznw).
WitnessKZN This is disrespectful to the monarch and disingenuous. 1 hunt a year that has been going on for hundreds of years cannot be the cause. Why must everything culturally African be dismissed. Hunting happens throughout the country daily. Do better
