Two poachers caught with a high-powered rifle and poaching equipment close to the carcasses of two rhinos have each been sentenced to 23 years in jail.
The hefty sentence was imposed after the men were found guilty of trespassing in the Kruger National Park, killing protected rhinos, possessing an illegal firearm and ammunition, and contravention of the Immigration Act.
