The Hawks have arrested an American national and launched a massive investigation after they discovered 26 unreported rhino carcasses at a Limpopo game farm near Gravelotte last Friday.
Derek Lewitton, 53, a controversial and outspoken figure in the contentious rhino horn trade debate, was taken into police custody shortly before midnight on Friday following an intensive 16-hour-long investigation at his Harmony game farm.
“Besides 26 unreported rhino carcasses that were discovered on the property, our members also found 10 unmarked rhino horns without the required paperwork in a safe, in the main farmhouse,” said Limpopo police spokesperson Brigadier Hulani Mashaba.
