On World Rhino Day 2026, remember what African Parks Rhino Rewild did when they took over management of the world’s largest rhino project in South Africa. Human Rights abusers should not have any voiceless animals under their care! #WorldRhinoDay2026 #AfricanParks #RhinoRewild

🧐🦏💔 2000 rhinos negatively affected by a meeting that "went well" and where a decision was taken, but as soon as a PAIA request is made then suddenly "no meeting took place" - More people should be speaking about this! @AJEnglish @trtafrika @carteblanchetv

Sat for 3 hours in the cold with my elderly disabled mother to apply for grant in aid only to be told the system is offline come another day. Is this really how we treat elderly and disabled people in South Africa? Is there a way to do this application online? @OfficialSASSA

Minister @DavidMaynier, There is a profound contradiction in DFFE's official account of a meeting where decisions were made that detrimentally affected 2,000 rhinos. This contradiction demands your attention and requires an investigation and an answer from the Minister! 🧐🦏💔

"No, I have not held any meetings or engagements with any representatives or members of the captive wildlife industry." pmg.org.za/committee-questio… 🤔🧐@AlanDBeesley keep digging. Focus on those who attended the meeting of 9 March 2026.

Thought for the day: Does income make you less disabled? Why do some insurance companies refuse to pay disability claims based on income status instead of medical status? Surely disability is a separate insured event? 🤔🧐

Celebrating women means nothing if we stay silent when their dignity and human rights are brazenly violated. Conservation without humanity is not conservation.

On #WorldRangerDay2026, DFFE refused to provide written reasons lawfully requested under s33 of the Constitution & s5 of PAJA, declared the matter closed, advised me to "explore other avenues." I've taken that advice. Complaint lodged with @publicprotecto1 Ref: ICD-31469/2026

What if destruction of legal rhino horn stockpiles can generate more funding for wildlife conservation than both trophy hunting and a legal trade combined? Should this approach be considered? If not, why not? #LegalTrade #RhinoHorn

The Western Cape has South Africa's strongest public healthcare system, however preventable deaths still occur, possibly as a result of negligence. The question is: what is driving the systemic failure and who should be held to account for malpractice? @WestCapeHealth

The destruction of legal rhino horn stockpiles can fund rhino conservation. If you agree, back The Rhino Standard. 🦏🪙💚👊🏼 foxy.africa/rhino_standard.h…

Can burning legal rhino horn stockpiles fund ongoing conservation? If you believe the answer is yes, back the Rhino Standard today. 🦏🪙💚👊🏼 foxy.africa/rhino_standard.h…

The 2025–2035 Biodiversity Management Plan for Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) and White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) in South Africa unlawfully fetters discretion and creates a de fecto moretorium! 🧐🦏💔 @environmentza @CITES @willieaucamp1
