The Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms Barbara Creecy, will report back on the progress of the implementation of integrated efforts to combat rhino poaching in South Africa. The Minister will be accompanied by the CEO of SANParks, Ms Hapiloe Sello.

South Africa has in the past year seen a shift in rhino poaching from the Kruger National Park to KwaZulu-Natal. Various measures are being implemented to ensure that Ezemvelo-KZN Wildlife is equipped to address the increased threat to rhino in the province, while steps are being taken by SANParks to address concerns about rangers being linked to poaching in particularly the Kruger National Park.
