🔸 Report snares, illegal hunting or signs of poaching through the appropriate channels. Never put yourself at unnecessary risk.

Remember, strong communities protect one another. Through teamwork, communication and vigilance, we can continue working towards safer farms and rural communities.

📢 We look forward to seeing you all next week at the Ihawu Lethu AGM and Dinner!

🐾 ANOTHER LIFE SAFELY BROUGHT HOME

Whilst conducting a routine patrol, a Watergate Security Solutions manager responded to the distressed calls of a dog in trouble.

After an extensive search through difficult and challenging terrain, the dog was located caught in a wire snare.

The manager safely freed the dog from the snare and ensured that it was returned home safely to its owners.

Incidents like this highlight the very real dangers posed by illegal snares — not only to wildlife, but also to livestock and domestic animals.

We’re proud to work alongside organisations such as the Dolphin Coast Anti-Poaching Forum (DCAPF) and Snare Aware in the ongoing fight against illegal poaching and the use of snares.
