I am beyond ecstatic to read that two Thai nationals were intercepted at OR Tambo International Airport this morning.
They both have connections to notorious Chumlong Lemtongthai, who is currently on trail in South Africa for rhino slaughter on the black market. In certain Asian countries, a national is legally allowed to change his name five times in his lifetime!
The two Thai nationals, the one previously convicted of being in possession of lion parts and deported out of South Africa, were intercepted at OR International Airport attempting to enter the country under changed identities. They also tried to disguise their appearance.
It is due to the vigilance, thorough work and 100% commitment of SARS that they identified and intercepted these criminals. For this I and millions worldwide are eternally grateful. SARS you have, in all probability, saved the lives of a multitude of threatened animals, who, I have no doubt, would have died excruciating deaths at the hands of these greedmongers and their syndicates.
Our wildlife - our heritage, is NOT for sale, for rape, for torture, for plunder, for death. Thank you, SARS! You are my heroes! Keep up the incredible work!
