Poachers 0 - Rangers 4
It's difficult to have much sympathy for rhino poachers. No, actually, make that 'it's difficult to have
any sympathy for rhino poachers' who suffer from lead poisoning. So it has been a bad ending for 2013 for four suspected poachers who were
fatally wounded in KNP, and a slightly less unpleasant end to the year for a further 17 suspected poachers who were arrested in the park.
On a much happier note, one of South Africa's best in legal circles, former Chief Justice Pius Nkonzo Langa has been awarded
a posthumous honorary Doctorate of Laws.
The Wits University's Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management conferred the honourary doctorate on Langa for his unselfish, inspirational and steadfast service to his country and his profession. Hear, hear! It's just a pity that the honour was not conferred during the judge's lifetime.
