Local poaching by seminomadic Herero tribesmen moving through Kaokoveld began in the 1970s, in what was then a vast, unprotected area, administered from afar by South Africa's Department of Bantu Affairs. The incentive to poach blossomed with the 1980 drought that left people destitute and killed 80 per cent of their cattle.
