A suspected rhino poacher is to appear in the Mogwase Magistrate’s Court in the North West tomorrow.


The 39-year-old Arnelo Mhlanga faces charges of the possession of rhino horns and the illegal possession of a firearm and ammunition.

The provincial police spokesperson, Aafje Botma, told OFM News that the suspect has already made his first appearance in court on 4 July.
