As international anti-trade campaigns gather momentum, it is of critical importance to emphasise that South Africa’s position regarding the trade in rhino horn is being distorted by the anti-trade lobby and the media, the department said in a statement.

The statement said recent press reports and certain environmentalists misquoted Environmental Affairs Minister, Edna Molewa, as saying that South Africa “did an ivory once-off sale and elephant poaching has not been a problem since”, thus legalising trade in rhino horns would end rhino poaching, reported Xinhua
