After nine years of legal proceedings, five people have been found guilty in connection with the poaching of five rhinos at Huntershill Safaris.
The convictions mark a significant development in a case that has involved years of work by Buks Coetzee, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), and others involved in pursuing justice for the animals.
All five accused have now been convicted, with sentencing scheduled to take place on Monday, 16 November 2026, at 11:00 at Lady Frere (Cacadu).
The case has taken approximately nine years to reach this stage, with those involved describing the outcome as the result of years of dedication and perseverance.
Supporters and members of the public are being encouraged to attend the sentencing proceedings to show their support and raise awareness about rhino poaching and the importance of holding those responsible accountable.
The sentencing hearing will mark the next stage in bringing the lengthy legal process to a conclusion.
