Pieter KrielRhino poaching - an interesting point of view
I received this interesting graph from a friend.
I wonder if there is any truth to it or if it is merely co-incidental?

bwana cecilIMHO It looks like a possibility that Mr. Zuma must have something to gain from all this or is completely incompetent at his job.

KarooDoubt that there is any correlation.

Me too. If you want a ststistic, who don't you check the number of Chinese visitors South Africa had last from 2000-2012. Somehow I bet the charts would be similar.
I know it isn't the Chinese pulling the trigger, but I bet the numbers are pretty revealing.

zhabaI bet if those bloody chinese aren't pulling the trigger they are sure as hell paying others to do it for them!!!

lavacaI've got some rifles I'd like to see the Chinese "investors" in Africa shoot. They kick, so "you should back up to a tree or a wall before you shoot it." I've got to have some fun, right?

jdollarHELL, Jacob has to find some way to pay for the $5,000,000 worth of "improvements" to his personal residence- which he claims wasn't at taxpayers expense...
