According to the Conservation Action Trust website, SANParks officials made the gruesome discovery of a two-day- old carcass with its tusks chopped off on Wednesday morning, July 30.

“Elephant poaching has been happening for a while now in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, so we did expect that it would at some stage reach our area,” said SANparks spokesperson William Mabasa.
