POLOKWANE-A 47-year-old man appeared in court earlier today after he was arrested when police found rhino horns in his house in Johannesburg during a search operation in December last year.
Francis Kipampa was remanded in custody by the Kabokweni magistrate’s court, and the case was postponed to 14 February for a formal bail application.
It is alleged that Kipampa is part of a syndicate involved with poaching in the Kruger National Park. Syndicate members were allegedly paying money into the accounts of Kruger National Park field rangers and their families for information to assist poaching syndicates.
