Rhino poacher jailed for 77 year

A man who poached three rhinos in South Africa has been sentenced to seventy-seven years in prison -one of the heaviest penalties for such a crime.

Mandla Chauke shot dead the rhino calves in Kruger National Park in 2011.

During the raid, shooting broke out between the poachers and park rangers -one of Chauke's accomplices was killed, and the poacher was found guilty of his murder.

An official from the South African National Parks Board welcomed the sentence, saying the courts had recognised the negative impact poaching had on wildlife and an economy dependent on tourism.
