The men were expected to appear in the Mtubatuba Magistrate's Court on Monday.

Great that they got caught but unfortunately Rhino's had to die. Hope they try escape and get killed in the process because the courts will not pass the correct justice IMO.

Just having and being in possession of a illegal firearm should be 15yrs alone plus a month for every bullet.

F that ... lets line them up and shoot them... (if guilty)

They should have their "horns" removed.
