Mbombela court case of alleged rhino horn possession to be in session

The case against AB Steyn and Dawie Groenewald pertaining to the alleged illegal possession and transportation of rhino horns will soon be back in court. The matter had been postponed for the centralisation of the cases.

Schalk Abraham Steyn, known to Lowvelders as AB Steyn, and Dawie Groenewald, who is a Limpopo game farmer, are due back in the Nelspruit Regional Court on November 29 on charges of alleged illegal possession and transportation of rhino horns.

The pair were arrested two years ago, on July 20, 2021, for the alleged possession of 19 rhino horns. They were released shortly afterwards on bail of R50 000 each.

The National Prosecuting Authority’s media relations director, Isaac Dhludhlu, previously told Lowvelder that the matter had been postponed to November 29 so the cases involving Steyn and Groenewald could be centralised.
