A report has shown that five rhino poachers have been killed in the Kruger National Park since Saturday.

Yesterday during a shoot-out with rangers, three poachers were shot dead.

The other two were killed on Saturday in the north of the park, near the Mozambique border.

More than three-hundred rhinos have been killed in South Africa in 2010 and over one-hundred-and-forty of those rhinos were killed in the Kruger National Park.
