The incidents occurred on 24 and 25 August.
According to police spokesperson Col Moatshe Ngoepe, it is alleged that farm workers were patrolling the area in the afternoon when they found one rhino killed, on Monday 24 August at about 15:00.
“It seems the poachers got disturbed and and as a result they failed to remove the horns from the rhino,” said Ngoepe.
Meanwhile, on the Tuesday, police were summoned to another crime scene in the same area.
