While Tanzania and other East African countries grappled with the trade in rhino horn, the Constitutional Court of South Africa imelipinga attempt by the government of wanting to put a ban on trade in ivory and rhino in domestic consumption.
The result is that the rhino horn can be sold locally, while the ban on the international trade is still in progress.
Custodians of the wild animals they claim to be, allowing it to continue trading done legally, will be able to reduce the number of rhinos are killed due to that rhino horn can be cut to stop the animals alive.
However, wildlife conservationists disagree with that point.
