Unitrans VW donates Amarok to KNP

2 Oct 2013

Unitrans Volkswagen has confirmed their sustained commitment to ensuring that the field rangers in the Kruger National Park (KNP) have the skills and equipment to allow them to continue their fight against rhino poaching with the handing over of a 4x4 Volkswagen Amarok.

As part of their Unite against Poaching initiative, Unitrans Volkswagen's divisional chief executive, Kevin Gillmer has handed over the Amarok to Major General Johan Jooste, officer commanding of special projects at the KNP. This vehicle will facilitate General Jooste having access to all areas of the KNP in his on-going battle against the scourge of rhino poaching.

Unite against Poaching has also just renewed the 4X4 Volkswagen Amarok, which is already in use for the ground transport of the Unitrans Volkswagen Tracker Hounds Unit in the KNP. These tracker hounds have been identified as a significant weapon in the counter poaching arsenal.

A well-trained and equipped field ranger is one of the most significant weapons in the war against poaching and Unitrans Volkswagen, through the Unite against Poaching fund is honoured to have been able to contribute over R6m to the fight against rhino poaching.
