The National Defence Force says soldiers have shot dead three suspected rhino poachers in the Kruger National Park.
Spokesperson Marinda Meyer says the suspected poachers opened fire on patrolling soldiers at Houtbosrand, north of the Olifants River, this week.
The men started shooting at the soldiers and they returned fire.
An AK-47 assault rifle, a hunting rifle, two axes and two cell phones were found in the suspects’ possession.
Soldiers were brought in to help fight the scourge of rhino poaching in the park just over a year ago.
