Poachers have killed two rhinos at a game farm in Brits, in North West, the Hawks said on Sunday.

“One was dehorned and the other was not, it seemed the poachers were disturbed,” said Captain Paul Ramaloko.

He said the rhino a cow and bull were shot dead on either Thursday or Friday at the Sable game reserve.

“The task team established to investigate rhino poaching will crack this case,” he said.
