In what can only be described as a significant milestone in the fight against poaching in South Africa, a 32year sentence was imposed on Freedom Ndlovu for his involvement in a series of poachingrelated offenses. This decision reinforces the gravity of wildlife crimes and the need for stricter measures to combat them. Lieutenant General Semakaleng Daphney Manamela, the Provincial Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Mpumalanga, expressed hope that the harsh penalty would serve as a warning to other wouldbe offenders.
