Another rhino is tagged in Kruger National Park. According to Kobus de Wet, senior manager of South Africa National Parks' community criminal unit, authorities can, with the help of technology, see precisely where tagged rhinos are. Should one get shot, authorities can locate the rhino and see where the horns are transported. Most are moved to the Middle East via South African and Mozambique harbours and airports. A single horn can sell for up to R40,000 (£3,500) per kilogram on the black market
