Johannesburg - A gang of about 10 men killed two rhinos on a Limpopo farm before cutting off their horns on Monday afternoon, SABC news reported.
They held up two workers on the farm, between Modimolle and Vaalwater.
"Between eight to 10 suspects, armed, arrived on the farm this afternoon," police spokesperson Ronel Otto told the broadcaster.
"They then overpowered two workers on the farm, a man and a woman in their 40s. They then tied them up and threatened them with firearms and... went to a special enclosure where the rhinos are kept. And they shot and they killed two rhinos and they cut off their horns and fled."
No arrests have been made.

ravenrlets hope the horns are poisoned and the media gets ahold of this poisoned rhino horn story and spread it far and wide.

ledvmFoa all those who thought the rhino wars were held in late 80's & early 90's...there is a resurgence.
The last 2-3 years have been devastating for rhino. Poachers are becoming more bold, clever, and sophisticated.
It is almost as if they cannot rest until every last one is dead.

Dave FulsonCatch the bastards, get the panga out and ask"you want to donate an arm or a leg, because we also employ the "cut off and run" method on this farm.
