Durban â KwaZulu-Natalâs fight against rhino poaching has been given a boost following the collaboration of private sector organisations and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife who have bandied together to establish a dog unit.
The recently established dog unit, known as HiP K9 Unit will operate inside Ezemveloâs Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park (HiP) that has been the scene gruesome poaching in recent years.

Since its inception six months ago, it has carried out numerous interventions which have resulted in three notable successes with three arrests and a number of poaching groups interrupted before they have poached a rhino.
