Nourish’s focus – projects that empower communities and preserve wildlife.
The crowds started gathering around 09h00 on the crisp winter morning in Hoedspruit. Farm Watch, Town Watch from Hoedspruit, Acornhoek, and The Oaks, SA Police and others were already in place. The crowds were diverse, from residents to anti-poaching units, workers, the Black Mambas (female anti-poaching unit) and businesspeople. Banners were everywhere declaring that NO BAIL was the only option that the crowd wanted.
Sniffer dogs, secret recording devices and the long arm of international law have helped to ensure the apprehension of at least two men linked to the slaughter of numerous rhinos. The arrests took place thousands of kilometres from the killing fields of southern Africa.
