Last week, the organisation said it was looking at various protection measures at all their game reserves - in a bid to protect all its animals.

Coetze says they believe the four rhino to have been killed in two separate incidents.


"We believe they were two separate days. It happened earlier in the week. I'm not going to go into too much detail. We do have protection measures; we work closely with the SAPS," he said.
