Nelspruit – A Mozambican man accused of dehorning a white rhino while the animal was still alive appeared in the Nelspruit Regional Court on Thursday.
Jonas Makhubela, 24, was arrested by rangers in the Mjokwane section of the Kruger National Park on March 31 for trespassing and dehorning a white rhino, a Sapa correspondent reported.
The court heard that an accomplice managed to escape across the border into Mozambique with the rhino horn and the firearm used in the crime.
Makhubela was not asked to plead.
