Because of this interception the supply just dropped meaning demand is even more hence doubling the value of that consignment.

You, Chinese are paying themselves already. Damn Ramaphosa le dikoloto 😢

You never hear of Sars intercepting Gold Diamonds Money Jewellery and Art leaving our shores by the rich. Why not?

Tjo! Where is David Mahlobo?

TheCapeArgus Fill them full of poison then release them.

tito_mboweni Wonder how many anc officials involved? 🤮

Who is this mathematician coming with prices of illegal stuff

tito_mboweni Would legalising the horn trade not mitigate the impact of poaching? Horns are like fingernails, a dead cell that grows back. Sell the horn, save the Rhino 🤷🏽‍♂️.

The fact that situations like these are always report in R's instead of saying that these horns represent 30-odd dead rhino tells us where the focus lies. SARS appear to be more shocked at the amount of tax money lost than the rhinos.

tito_mboweni Needs a full scale investigation immediately. No good if just the mules go to prison.

tito_mboweni Well done SARS MUST PUT IN FOR LIFE CAUSE THEY TOOK MANY LIVES

Well done. New dawn

SimonPGrindrod Well done!
