Under the circumstances, vehicles and firearms/dart guns being accessories to the crime are subject to confiscation by the State and that was indeed concluded.

What about the aircraft?

If this is the same sable incident with the PH for the Cecil affair then they were probably the ones i saw in the road side boma at Bronkhorst's 'game farm' near Hwange.

I would presume so Stu, as that is the only smuggling story that I have heard of recently . Don't see anything mentioned about him though.

Bronkhorst wasn't charged as far as I know. Charges were withdrawn before plea, which means they can be re-introduced, or not, possibly for a fee.
