Enjoy it, it's your own South African news report . Mugu Maga !

"There’s a war going on in southern Africa. And though it may not have the human body count of, say, Sudan, this battle is just as bloody. In 2012, rhino poaching in South Africa left more than 650 rhinos illegally slaughtered– approximately one every 16 hours– and more than 100 humans died in the fight to protect them."

Posting the same source over and over is not a legitimate response when we are questioning the validity of the source itself

Also that is not a South African news report - it's an advertisement for the tv show

You have yet to show us any stats that show the hind m is superior

I have already proved that the rooivalk is superior

Opinion =\= fact

Nigeria's militant Islamist group Boko Haram has captured the town of Banki, which borders Cameroon, after government troops fled, residents say.

The military has not yet commented on the latest town to reportedly fall to the insurgents in recent weeks.

Fears have been raised that their main target is Maiduguri, the capital of north-eastern Borno state.

Boko Haram's "lightning territorial gains" could lead to Nigeria breaking up like Iraq, a think-thank has warned

Animal thieves are wiping out Nigerian wild life for BUSH MEAT

this animal fighting peeps still posing for pics..smh

South Africa is currently experiencing a catastrophic rhino poaching crisis, with 668 rhinos lost during 2012. It is now evident that Mozambique has played a key role in this illegal killing.

The vast majority of rhinos killed in South Africa are poached in Kruger Poached rhino Limpopo South Africa (C) Sarah NelsonNational Park, which shares a long, porous border (356km) with Mozambique, where most of the poachers come from. Poachers from Mozambique are easily able to illegally slip across the border into Kruger National Park, and even if South African National Parks rangers are able to detect them, they are unable to carry out the ‘hot pursuit’ once the poachers have crossed the border back in Mozambique. During March 2013 alone, Kruger Park recoded 72 known cross-border armed incursions from Mozambique. Of the 94 rhino related arrests in South Africa this year, 44 of these have been in Kruger (9 May 2013).

In Mozambique, there are no strict penalties for rhino poaching or possession of rhino horn and poaching is simply considered a misdemeanour offence. Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, and there are many individuals willing to risk their lives to earn money through poaching. The country suffers from high corruption and even Mozambican field rangers have been arrested for rhino poaching.

Recent reports claim that settlements have sprung up along the Mozambican border, with towns thriving on the money received from the illegal sale of rhino horn to criminal gangs. International criminal syndicates have been quick to recruit willing poachers, where lack of law enforcement means gangs are easily able to export the rhino horn Eastern Asian markets.

There was once a fence separating the Kruger National Park from Mozambique. However in December 2002, the presidents of South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe signed an international treaty to establish the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. The treaty resulted several areas of fence being dropped along the South Africa / Mozambique border to increase the habitat for wildlife and encourage animals to roam between the countries’ nature reserves.

South African Sanctuary fenceThere are now fresh calls for the fence to resurrected in a bid to reduce the current poaching onslaught. South Africa, at a ministerial level, is currently involved in ongoing discussions with Mozambique regarding the re-erection of the fence along the border. In the longer term, the huge problems South Africa is experiencing has implications for the wider issue of trans-frontier parks; what happens to wildlife when one country does not enforce security or wildlife crime laws?

In May 2013, there were several news reports that Mozambique had lost all its rhinos from Limpopo National Park. In reality there were few rhino remaining in the country, at the 2011 AfRSG meeting, estimates were that there were 6 white rhinos and 1 black rhino surviving in Mozambique. It is more likely that the rhinos poached were the unfortunate ones who walked across the border from Kruger National Park in South Africa; so the recent reports seem to be referring to South African rhinos that have been poached on Mozambican soil.

Following on from the 16th Conference of Parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), urgent actions have been directed to Mozambique to tackle its role in the rhino poaching crisis. These include the need to give priority attention to the creation and implementation of effective legislation to effectively deter wildlife crime, prevent the illegal killings of rhinos and possession of rhino horn. Along with Vietnam, Mozambique has been given a deadline of January 31 to implement these actions and submit a report to CITES on its activities conducted.

There are several key aspects that Mozambique urgently needs to address including the need to step up anti-poaching patrols along the Kruger and allow South African rangers to pursue poachers once they have crossed the Mozambique border. Mozambique urgently needs to improve its wildlife legislation and make rhino poaching a punishable crime. It also needs to address the illegal trafficking of rhino horn through its main ports, to prevent the country from being a major hub for the export of wildlife products from Africa to Asia. Direct engagement and co-operation with South Africa is essential for Mozambique to tackle this escalating crisis.

Nigeria – Boko Haram and ivory poaching

The illegal trade, it has also been found, rake an estimated $20 billion a year from sale of ivory, rhino horn and tiger penis, part of which the report said is used to fund Boko Haram and their violent ideology.

Writing under the headline; ‘How wildlife crime links us all to conflicts in Africa’ in its May 15 online version, the scientific journal disclosed that 23,000 African elephants were killed for their tusks last year, adding also that, “like many terrorist organisations in Africa, Boko Haram is funded by sales of illegal ivory.”

It also pointed out that elephant poaching, which is usually considered a conservation issue, is increasingly becoming a national security and humanitarian concern. Citing a recent report from Born Free USA and data analyst C4ADS, as stating that “ivory has become the “bush currency” militants, terrorists and rebels use to buy weapons and fund operations. Government corruption is thought to play its part too.”

Most of the ivory, it wrote, ends up in east Asia, where demand is high and rising, with a single tusk being sold at $15,000.

On the link between the abduction of more than 200 girls by Boko Haram in Borno and the 23,000 African elephants killed for their tusks last year, the journal wrote; “On the surface all these crimes have in common is that they happened on the same continent. But there is an intimate connection: like many terrorist organisations in Africa, Boko Haram is funded by sales of illegal ivory.”

“The fact that ivory is used to bankroll conflicts provides yet more ammunition that conservationists should exploit,” the report added.

“Of course, the ivory trade is only one part of a web of wildlife crime that is itself part of a global criminal network dealing in drugs, weapons and people.

“Cutting demand for ivory won’t on its own defuse Africa’s conflicts. Militants will simply plunder other resources such as hardwood or the mineral coltan, which may end up as furniture in your house or electrical components in your cellphone,” it noted, while highlighting other products that could be illegally traded for terrorism sponsorship.

Intelligence chiefs have red-flagged wildlife poaching as a security risk, saying proceeds from the crime are being used to fund terror groups.

African intelligence chiefs have red-flagged wildlife poaching as a security risk, saying proceeds from the crime are being used to fund terror groups.

Heads of 25 intelligence organisations, which included South Africa, Angola and Nigeria, met in Harare recently to discuss the escalation of poaching and trafficking activities across the continent, and are mulling over joint operations with military and wildlife management authorities.

According to minutes of the meeting in Harare from July 8 to 11, terrorism, which for long has mainly been associated with Middle Eastern countries, was said to be on the rise in Africa, with some of the prominent groups – Boko Haram in Nigeria, al-Shabab in Somalia and Kenya and the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Uganda – being cited.

The intelligence chiefs, who met under the banner of the Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa (Cissa), said poaching is now worrisome because there is “a great deal of evidence of fledgling linkages between poaching and wildlife trafficking on one hand and transnational organised criminal activities, including terrorism and weapons proliferation, on the other”.

@AUGUSTUS ...NIGERIA IS BUYING FROM SOUTH AFRICA

The Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has donated three patrol boats worth 20 million dollars to the Nigerian Navy (NN) in a bid to boost the force's capability at sea, safeguard the nation's maritime domain and check maritime illegalities.

This is just as three suspected impostors who were posing as naval personnel were arrested, paraded and handed over to the Agboju Police Division, Area E Command by personnel of the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) WEY.

The boats, a 32-metre OCEA and two 17-metre MANTA class boats, were built in South Africa and handed over to the navy at the Western Naval Command (WNC), headquarters, Apapa in Lagos.

Do you know the meaning of the world 'TRUE' ? It means proved correct and tested correct.

All the other armies of over 100 countries of this world can also claim to be TRUE professional because they have not been tested in battle and have never fought any long sustained war like America, Russia, Britain, Israel, and Nigeria !

Only we who are fully tested are the true world class professional military.


Show us a war fought by 10,000 terrorists disguised as civilians of whom 50% are South African citizens, living on South African soil, mixed with your own civilians in your townships, armed with machine guns and RPGs, sow us such a war fought by your SANDF to test your true practican capacity to cope with such an unconventional war motivated by religion and readiness to do suicide bombing plus full war spread over an area of the size of Great Britain and across the whole length of South African border from Namibia to Mozambique, crossing border into Zimbabwe and crossing back into South Africa at night to attack civilian towns that are defenceless, show me such a war SANDF has ever fought to prove their real combat capability and not photography marketing you guys are doing here like retaards, who told you photographs is a prove of an army's battlefield capability? I am sure you don't know the true meaning of war.

Nigerian army just k.illed over 100 Bokos and captured over 30, in a dangerous mixed street to street fighting inside a city of half a million civilians and yet with very little civilian casualties even in the dark night of combat, show me where your SANDF 'professional' army and air force has done that in the last 100 years !!!!

Weak Leadership And Silence On Loss Of SAndf Skills


RAFEEK SHAH, MP
DA SPOKESPERSON FOR DEFENCE

An average of 187 skilled and experienced technicians and 24 pilots of the South African Air Force (SAAF) resign annually. According to a parliamentary reply (1), we are experiencing a steady loss of skills and experience, which has serious implications for force readiness, the maintenance of equipment and weaponry, and the supervision of subordinate members.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) wrote a letter to the previous Minister of Defence asking for details on what is being done to address the ongoing loss of critical skills in the military, as well as for details of a contingency plan which will guarantee that our defence capability is not compromised. To date, the DA has not received any reply.

In September 2008, we called upon the new Minister, Charles Nqakula, to tell the public what he intended to do about the loss of military skills. To date, we have heard nothing. Repeatedly, we see clear evidence of weak and ineffective leadership in critical issues. Is the Minister going to wait until there is no one left before he acts?

Since 2004:

? There have been 94 resignations by pilots, and all of these were of the rank Second Lieutenant and higher;
? There have been 746 resignations by SAAF technical personnel and of these, 51 resignations were of the rank Second Lieutenant and higher;
? There have been 114 resignations from Command and Control (2), and of these 40 were of the rank Second Lieutenant and higher.

We can clearly see that there is a steady loss of skills and experience from the SAAF every year. While the military is bringing in new members through the Military Skills Development System (MSDS), this system merely replaces bodies but not skills and experience. The loss of senior experienced personnel also affects the ability of the military to develop young military leadership by example and skills transfer.

We want to see clear, decisive action being taken by the Minister to assure us that something is being done to address this issue. We repeat our calls for the Minister to address the public on this matter and for a full audit to be done to determine why people are resigning.
