Senior Eastern Cape officials are calling for an immediate investigation of the sale and exchange of white rhinos in Enoch Mgijima municipality, where the transactions have raised more than a few red flags.

The rhinos were removed from one of the municipality’s two game reserves between 2015 and 2018, but according to councillors, no-one knows where the proceeds from sales have gone or why buffaloes that were supposed to have been received in an exchange deal are nowhere to be seen.  ..
