<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nDit is die derde renoster wat in drie maande op die plaas gestroop is.<\/p>\n
In Desember het stropers met ‘n .458 ‘n dragtige koei en haar driejarige kalf geskiet.<\/p>\n
Die koei was net gewond en stropers het haar rug met ‘n byl afgekap, voordat hulle haar horing tot op die neusbeen uitgekap het terwyl sy vermoedelik nog geleef het.<\/p>\n
Gewapende wagte op die plaas is minder as ‘n maand gelede weggejaag toe hulle vir die soveelste keer gevang is terwyl hulle slaap.<\/p>\n
“Ek is nou keelvol. Ek het vandag (Woensdag) my permitte gekry om die renosters te verkoop en van die plaas af te kry.”
\nMnr. Roberts s\u00ea dat hy die diere al 16 jaar het. Hy meen hy kan egter nie die risiko vat van stropers wat met AK47’s in die veld loop terwyl daar gaste is nie.<\/p>\n
“Ek verkoop die diere vir ‘n appel en ‘n ui. Maar dit is net nie meer die risiko werd nie. Ons het die horings nou al twee maal laat afsaag, maar vir daai paar sentimeter kom hulle terug.”<\/p>\n
Mnr. Roberts was vol lof vir die polisie en Fauna en Flora wat in volle mag daar was om die saak te ondersoek. Hy is veral be\u00efndruk met die Prioriteitsmisdaad eenheid.<\/p>\n
