A man has appeared in court after allegedly shooting a suspected illegal hunter on a farm in Limpopo.
The 32-year-old suspect appeared in the Lephalale magistrate’s court on Tuesday. His case was postponed to July 3 for further police investigations. According to Brig Motlafela Mojapelo, the incident happened on Sunday when the deceased and two other men were caught by nature conservation members while allegedly hunting illegally on the farm outside Lephalale.
“The three were allegedly found in possession of two bags containing pieces of wild animal dried meat, a gemsbok and hunting tools. “The deceased was allegedly shot and killed by the suspect soon after they managed to escape from the nature conservation officials who caught them,” Mojapelo said.
