Man appears for shooting poacher
2014-01-13 21:18



Johannesburg - A man accused of trying to murder an alleged poacher appeared in the Malelane Magistrate's Court on Monday, Mpumalanga police said.

Richard Hume, 31, would be back in court on 26 February, Sergeant Gerald Sedibe said.

Hume, the son of rhino and buffalo breeder John Hume, was out on R5 000 bail.

In September, Sabelo Maphungla was driving a bakkie in the Mauricedale game reserve with Siso Nkhosi, 28, and Jabo Dlamini, 38.

Hume allegedly shot Maphungla, wounding him in the head. Nkhosi and Dlamini were charged with trespassing and illegal game hunting, but the matter was provisionally struck from the court roll in December, pending Maphungla's recovery.

Sedibe said the case had not yet been reinstated, because Maphungla remained in hospital.

Unfortunately today, right is looked upon as wrong, and wrong is looked upon as right. Good law abiding, hard working, upstanding folks end up, more often than not, being the real victims in the end. This does not occur only in Africa.

I hunted that farm several years ago. They indeed had many rhino including black rhino.

Richard will most probably get off scott free in the end, but he must go through this ordeal which will cost him a lot of time and even more money. This people trespassed on their property, not by accident, they were driving around in a vehicle and the had poaching tools with them.

My philosophy is, if a person does not come through my gate and I have not welcomed him on my property, he is a trespasser and then I will defend my property, my family, my friends, my clients and workers with what ever means I think it is appropriate.

There are too much human rights and political correctness and too little common sense in todays world.
