Mkhuze 1961

1235294538

The photo shows Amber, the first ever white rhino to be moved out of the Umfolozi Game Reserve, that was sent down to Mkhuze in June 1961 – a truly historic event but sadly to report the animal died!
The stories of both these rhinos is told in my book “Mkhuze – The Formative Years” under the chapters “Poaching” (chapter 5) and “Wake up, we’ve brought you a rhino” (chapter 9). The book is found full-text online under this link: http://www.africamera.co.za/Book/mkhuze.htm
