I doubt this will come as a big surprise to anyone.............


The operations of the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority hang in the balance due to erratic fuel supplies and manpower shortage, an official said on Sunday.

Director General Dr Morris Mutsambiwa said the rate of poaching called for more resources.

"Poaching incidents especially of the rhino are on the increase," he said.

"Shortages of fuel have been making it difficult to carry out operations in most of the affected areas."

Dr Mutsambiwa said poaching had become rampant in the Southeast Lowveld.
