5 suspected rhino poachers killed in shootout with police

“Five suspected rhino poachers have been shot and killed in a shootout with police in Hluhluwe, Northern KwaZulu-Natal.
Police say they gathered intelligence that the suspects were travelling along the R618 towards a game reserve and decided to set up a stop-and-search operation along the route on Saturday evening.

“When the suspects arrived at the roadblock, a shootout ensued between the police and the suspects.
“Five suspects were shot and fatally wounded,” said police. No officer was injured during the shootout.
The suspects were found in possession of a hunting rifle with a silencer and two pistols.

Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park in KwaZulu-Natal has, through several interventions, reduced the amount of rhinos lost over the last two years. There were only 63 deaths in 2025, a drop from 198 in 2024.”

Some good news: We are developing a new flyer for the project to promote the rhino crisis and the rhino conservation topics in a more professional way.

Since we spend 100 % of our donations to the rhino topics we cover the costs by ourselves.

There's more to come very soon. Stay tuned 😃
