Rhino poaching: 4 foreigners sentenced Polokwane - Four foreign nationals were sentenced in the Modimolle Regional Court on Thursday for attempted rhino poaching, Limpopo police said. Alpheus Mokale, of the province's stock theft unit, said the four were found trying to poach rhino on a nature reserve in Lephalale in July this year, but were arrested. "They were arrested before they could kill any rhino," he said. Zimbabwean Jimmy Monyana, 27, was sentenced to six years' imprisonment - three years for illegal hunting, and another three years for possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition. Joseph Vineni, 29, and Edison Manyiki, 33, both Zimbabwean, were each sentenced to three years' imprisonment for illegal hunting, and Mozambican national Alec Baloyi, 33, was sentenced to three years on the same charge. "A Mercedes-Benz that they were found using at the time of the attempted crime was also confiscated by the State," Mokale said. - SAPA Cheers, ~ Alan Life Member NRA Life Member SCI email: editorusa(@)africanxmag(dot)com African Expedition Magazine: http://www.africanxmag.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.p.bunn Twitter: http://twitter.com/EditorUSA Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

Just curious? Were any of the four people convicted members of SCI or it's Executive Committee?? Thought maybe the Mercedes might be a connection factor? Larry Sellers SCI Life Member | |||

If you are reaching this far out for reasons to bash SCI, maybe.... ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest.

i think one was a past president( he used a Mercedes since a chopper wasn't handy), one was the president-elect( business partner/attourney for the other 3), and one had the most record book entries in the shot-from-a-chopper category. fourth guy was just your basic life member on holiday.
