Andre de Lange, of Letaba River Lodge, confirmed to the Herald that two very rare white lions were poached at the Lodge during the early hours of Sunday morning.
The lions were the cubs of the lions that acted in in the international film, The Ghost and the Darkness, a 1996 American historical adventure film staring Val Kilmer and Micheal Douglas.
The film received a mixed critical response upon release, and later won an Academy Award for Sound Editing.
They were worth well over R500 000.
A massive investigation is under way.
There is good reason to suspect that staff from Letaba River Lodge was involved.
