Aquila Game Reserve posted the following at 13h43 on their Facebook page:
Saving Private Rhino – An Aquila Private Game Reserve Initiative have just received information about a “burning hair” smell and the sound of grinding coming from a garage at an apartment block in Tableview. Suspecting it could involve rhino horn, owner of Aquila Private Game Reserve and the head of Saving Private Rhino, Searl Derman, immediately contacted the Hawks and proceeded to the scene.
Hawks are currently on the scene and have found what is suspected to be horn. Confirmations to follow….
Aquila Game reserve also tweeted that two suspects had been arrested on site.
Follow link below for UPDATED details, and more pics on this story.
The approximate worth of the seized horns and ivory is as yet unknown.
The story will be updated as details emerge.
UPDATE:
Acting on a tip from a Tabelview resident, Aquila Game Reserve employee, Searl Derman was able to lead the Hawks and South African Police out to a garage in Tableview area where two Chinese Nationals were arrested for the possession of ivory and various other horns. Neighbours of the arrested men became suspicious after the smell of burning hair and a grinding noise could be traced back to the garage of the suspects.

Congratulations to Searl Derman for being quick to contact The Hawks !!
Personally, I’d like them to castrate those farts that did that to the poor rhinos…
Well done!

Congrats Searl and to those who did not just stick their heads in the sand and reported the suspicious activity to the authorities! China (generalising here) must F Off! They are taking over Africa and ruining it at the same time with their pathetic unfounded beliefs that Rhino Horn can cure an array of ailments. Rhino horn is NOT Medicine!

I think we should enforce their “24 hour” death penalty tip like they did last week to our RSA drug smuggler. Send them home!

Interesting to see the contrast in punishments in comparison to Janice Linden who was EXECUTED for being a drug mule. The main difference is that these guys are poachers. Killing our animals. Why should they get off lighter than Janice? I’m just saying…

Brilliant – now we can enforce punishment by lethal injection on rhino poaches as they do to SA drug mules.

Brilliant work! I hope we show the rest of the world not to mess with us. AND I hope the ‘neighbours’ get huge big medals, rewards and life long entries into all game reserves. We need more people like you who are not scared to stick their necks out. Congratulations from the rest of us South Africans.

We should nurture compassionate thought. Since we wish to live, we should not kill any other living being. Furthermore, the karma of killing is understood as the root of all suffering and the fundamental cause of sickness and war, and the forces of killing are explicitly identified with the demonic. The highest and most universal ideal of Buddhism is to work unceasingly for permanent end to the suffering of all living beings, not just humans.
‘With the Medicine Buddha mantra you can liberate numberless sentient beings from oceans of suffering and bring them to enlightenment.’ – Lama Zopa. Tayata Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha BeKanze Radza Samudgate Soha

Hey Seth, do you mind if I take a quick look around your site? I'm afraid you may have hippies.

Much of the suffering in the world would be eliminated if people stoped mindless action
