A 33-year-old Zimbabwean man was among four men arrested in South Africa by the Hawks while allegedly selling two pangolins at Mahikeng Mall.
Deon Clamans Mubhada, two South African nationals Kabelo McDonald Batsi (36), and Tebogo Kodwa (28), as well as Botswana national Lesego Siana (45) appeared before the Molopo Magistrate’s Court in North West.
A spokesperson for the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in North West, Henry Mamothame said the matter was adjourned till 06 June for verification of the statuses of the accused people in preparation for the bail application. <a href="https://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-and-courts/multinational-syndicate-two-south-africans-a-zimbabwean-and-a-botswana-national-arrested-while-allegedly-selling-pangolins-53158645-137e-407d-94e2-dd9c40ef1bde">IOL</a> quoted Mamothame as saying:
<blockquote>
They are facing two charges of contravention of the National Environmental Management Biodiversity Act of 10 of 2004 after they were found in possession of two pangolins…
The Hawks report revealed that information that was followed up, led to the arrest of the four at Mahikeng Mall where they were found in possession of the endangered species, allegedly trying to sell them.
They will remain in police custody until the next court appearance set for a bail application. Meanwhile, investigations are underway to establish more facts on the matter.
Owing to the serious nature of such offences in the province, a senior State advocate, advocate Benny Kalakgosi, has been allocated the case to ensure that the four are brought to book successfully.
</blockquote>
Hawks spokesperson in North West, Captain Tlangelani Rikhotso, said:
<blockquote>
Members of the Hawks Serious Organised Crime Investigation arrested four suspects aged between 29 and 45, in Mahikeng on 30 May 2023, following their attempt to sell two pangolins for R200 000.
The team was following up on information regarding the suspects who were allegedly looking for a buyer for the pangolins.
The quartet was cornered at Mahikeng Mall where they were found in possession of the endangered species.
</blockquote>
Endangered species are those that are at risk of extinction because of a sudden rapid decrease in their population or a loss of their critical habitat.
According to the National Geographic Society, species become endangered for two main reasons: loss of habitat and loss of genetic variation.

Zimbabwean Man Arrested While Selling Pangolins In South Africa

A woman from Figtree in Matabeleland South Province and her family were given groceries worth US$50.00, T-shirts and conservation books by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) after she handed over a live pangolin that she had encountered in the veld.
Portia Moyo from Mahenya Village received the gifts from Zimparks principal wildlife investigation and security officer Amos Gwema.
Gwema told <a href="https://vicfallslive.co.zw/index.php/2022/10/12/figtree-woman-rewarded-for-handing-over-pangolin/">VicFallsLive</a> that the gift was meant to encourage communities to conserve wildlife. Gwema said:
<blockquote>
I handed over a grocery hamper worth US$50 to Portia Moyo of Mahenya Village after she picked a live pangolin while she was cutting thatching grass.
I also handed three T-shirts to the family with a conservation message to appeal to the community against committing wildlife crimes.
Portia Moyo was very thankful and she encouraged me to continue doing the good work because she said the community is rarely recognised in wildlife conservation.
She spoke touchingly saying ‘You are a rare person, who remembers us, poor villagers, most funds are used by elites on meetings and on hotels without recognising the poor villagers who reside side by side with these animals.
</blockquote>
Gwema said the pangolin has been released back to the Hwange National Park.
