Organized crime is poaching Africa’s rhino to extinction partly because law enforcement is neither trained nor organized. From one of our trusted INTEL and anti-poaching sources we hear that “Experienced Security Operatives” support the belief that Kwazulu-Natal (KZN) Rhino poaching is on the rise due, inexperienced enforcement efforts ignoring the basics of good security practice. Note the red italicized sections (by our source) of the following article and how they support this sad premise.
