Twenty Rhino Poached in Kruger

CAPE TOWN- A total of 94 animals, including 20 white rhino, were killed by poachers in the Kruger National Park last year, Environmental Affairs Minister Marthinus van Schalkwyk said on Friday.

Also on the list of animals poached in South Africa's flagship reserve were 35 impala, 15 buffalo and three lions, according to a written reply by the minister to a parliamentary question.

The list covers the twelve month period from April 2006 to the end of March this year.

Other animals poached included four zebra, three waterbuck, one elephant and a crocodile, Van Schalkwyk said.
