Kép: TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY GRIFFIN SHEA A ranger from South African National Parks (SANParks) participates at a night patrol exercice with South African National Defence Force (SANDF) company against rhino's poachers on July 19, 2011 along the Mozambique border in the Kruger National Park. The military began patrolling in Kruger in April, as part of a general shift of border patrols from the police to soldiers, but also to combat a surge in rhino poaching. In April, South African soldiers were deployed in Kruger National Park to safeguard the border with Mozambique, where heavily armed and highly organised poachers have driven the slaughter of rhinos to record levels to feed an Asian black market for traditional medicine. The poachers slip across the Mozambican border with night-vision goggles, AK-47s, hunting rifles, and in one case, a grenade. Fifteen poachers have been killed in shoot-outs so far this year in Kruger, nine wounded and 64 arrested. AFP PHOTO / STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN, Fotó: STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN
