Today marks a landmark victory in what has been a massive collaborative effort to fight for the survival and re-opening of Skukuza Regional Court in the Kruger National Park. Opening its doors for the first time since its closure in 2019, the first cases appeared in front of the court this morning.
Skukuza Regional Court – the flagship court for rhino cases in South Africa – is open once again.
We would like to acknowledge the considerable efforts of all those role players who put so much time and effort into countering what was a suspiciously sinister and very determined effort by Mpumalanga Regional Court President Naomi Engelbrecht to close the court’s doors – and keep them closed. We would also like to thank all those who signed and shared our petition to save the court. Your voices played a significant role in proving tangible evidence of the importance of the court as a matter of public interest.
May the Skukuza Regional Court continue, unhindered, to seek justice for rhinos and those who work so hard to protect them.
