South African National Parks (SANParks) said in a statement that in a SANParks driven operation, with support from South African Police Services (SAPS), two of its staff members based in the Kruger National Park were arrested during the late afternoon of Monday, 7 April 2014, on suspicion of poaching activity during the weekend.

According to SANParks� Acting CEO, Abe Sibiya, the two employees are not attached to the ranger corp units within the park� �but are definitely employees of the organisation�.

The two suspects are expected to appear in the White River Magistrate Court on Wednesday, 9 April 2014.

Whoever blew the whistle on them apparently didn't get bribed enough...

Given the levels of corruption that is rife through out South African society, I personally wouldn't give much credence to the "facts" behind this story.

These two guys are just as likely have been "framed" by others as to be master poachers..
