Wilderness trails guide arrested for possession of illegal firearm
A South African National Parks (SANParks) wilderness trails guide has been arrested for possession of an illegal hunting rifle inside the Kruger National Park (KNP).
The arrest was made in an intelligence-driven operation led by the SANParks Environmental Investigative Unit and the South African Police Service’s Tactical Response Team.
Investigations are ongoing and the suspect cannot be named as he still has to appear in court. He will also face an internal disciplinary hearing as an employee.
SANParks spokesperson JP Louw says that while respecting the fact that the employee must be presumed innocent until found guilty, SANParks always cautions its employees against involving themselves in criminal acts as the organisation applies a no-nonsense policy against such acts.
