Two suspected poachers at the weekend allegedly shot and killed and dehorned two black rhinos at Ruware Ranch in Chiredzi.

However, the two suspects were intercepted by five game rangers from the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority at Mkwasine Estates who managed to recover the horns after the poachers fled.

The suspects left behind a .303 rifle after being cornered by the rangers. Masvingo police spokesperson Inspector Fibeon Nyambo on Monday said they were hunting for the poachers in a joint operation with the Parks authority.
