Mar 6, 2025 | businesslive.co.za | Sfundo Parakozov |Nyasha Nyaungwa

SA recorded a roughly 16% drop in rhino poaching last year, with 420 animals killed for their horns vs 499 the previous year, the government said on Thursday.

Rhino horns — made primarily of keratin, a protein also found in human hair and fingernails — are prized in some East Asian countries for traditional medicine and jewellery.
