Was he poaching or trophy hunting? After all he's black

Should get 88 years 🤮😡

Some politicians could be behind this, I remember one widowed first lady who once implicated too, but everyone knows Africa is where corruption is celebrated and could even say it's endorsed, surely he won't serve the entire 18 years, it's a slap on the wrist, and he'll be out 🤷

I hate criminals with my every ounce of my being, because it's useless people who are murderers, rapists, thieves, traffickers,drug dealers and so on, having these societal misfits is unfortunate, it's worse when they come from outside, and add to the misfits we already have 😥

There's nothing that's disgusting and nauseating like foreigners who come here, get involved in crime even more than South Africans,we have enough crime committed by South Africans, to think that even those who are allowed into the country come here just to perpetuate crime 💔😥

Perhaps death or life sentence would have been better. Peace_Parks savetherhino OlPejeta kwskenya

VoetsekANC Should have been 180 years.
