Rhino poaching is an ongoing scourge.
The cost of protecting these animals from well-funded poachers is very high. Kariega Reserve near Grahamstown has lost a number of their rhinos.
Kisma and Co, in High Street behind the Yellow House Restaurant, has started the Rhino Tears project, selling attractive necklaces and earrings to raise funds against rhino poaching.
All profits from sales go to Kariega’s rhino preservation initiative.
Thus far Kisma has raised R15 000, a massive achievement. Visit www.kisma.co.za/pay-forward/ for more information.
