CannyMaphanga Now everyone involved must go to jail

CannyMaphanga I honestly think seizing the horns at the airport was a foolish and undermanaged way of fighting back against the crime of pouching. If the parcel was tracked(the real horns or a replacement thereof)to the destination to whom it was off then we could've closed a gap in this trade

CannyMaphanga Let me take a wild guess; Nobody arrested?

CannyMaphanga Job well done !!

CannyMaphanga Why did we not track shipment and find the buyers

CannyMaphanga Was it going to the guptas?

CannyMaphanga The government should introduce a minimum sentence of 20 years for environmental crimes

CannyMaphanga So even painting the horns doesn't work?
