THE Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA) has suspended all hunting permits in order to carry out a verification exercise on their validity, amid indications that some safari hunters might be holding fake permits.
In an interview yesterday, ZPWMA Director-General Dr Morris Mutsambiwa said following numerous allegations of illegal activities in the hunting sector, it was seen fit to carry out the verification exercise.
He said in recent weeks there have been plenty of accusations that have been flying around, hence the need to investigate the state of the sector to come up with a true position.
“There are a lot of accusations flying around regarding the current holders of hunting permits,” he said.
“As an authority we have therefore seen it fit to get onto the ground and find out for ourselves. It is our hope that all those that have been issued with hunting permits would come forward to clear their names,” he said.
He said given that hunting is taken as a sport, it would be in the interests of permit-holders to do so within the confines of the law.
In a statement yesterday, the authority said the verification includes any hunting currently under way and ending on 31 December.
“Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority would like to advise the public that all hunting permits have been suspended with immediate effect for the purposes of verifying them.
“All current hunting permit-holders are advised to approach the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority head office to verify the validity of their permits. Verification of hunting permits includes any hunting currently under way and ending on 31 December 2009,” said the authority in a statement.
The media has been awash with allegations of rampant poaching, especially of the endangered black rhinos.
Mr Vitalis Chadenga, operations director of the authority last week told the local media that from January to
October this year, the country had lost 65 elephants through poaching.
“In the same period we have lost 24 black and six white rhinos. It is true that we have a group of international gangsters, who are funding poachers around this part of the world. We have arrested 2 500 poachers and 10 have been shot dead since the beginning of this year,” said Mr Chadenga said.

I don't think fake hunting permits are behind the rhino problem...

I am slightly confused. Does this action concern only individual hunting licenses, such as we buy in the states, or, does this include PH licenses and concessions?

The regular trophy hunting season is over isn't it? I would expect this really applies to the locals and residents.

A .338 Lapua bullet in the right spot would do the trick!

Even a few hundred .338 Lapua bullets in the right place when all the rhino are extinct will not solve the problem!

I do not know what the real solution is, but it will involve action by all hunters to encourage their respective governments to take immediat, even drastic steps [like sending a few .338 Lapua shooting snipers Big Grin] to restore decent government in Zimbabwe.

In good hunting.
