A suspected rhino poacher was shot and killed and another suspect arrested after a tracking team spent almost a full day tracing down the suspects. 

The incident took place on Saturday on a farm in Polokwane.  One of the workers who usually put out feeding for the rhinos spotted strange tracks in the area. 

A search ensued for more than 24 hours. 

Colonel Ronel Otto said shots were exchanged between a suspect and the tracking team.

Otto added that the suspect is from Mozambique and they have confiscated a hunting rifle and ammunition.
