Nine people have been arrested and are to appear in a South African court on Wednesday for their alleged role in a rhino poaching syndicate.
The suspects include a businessman and two veterinarians operating in the Limpopo Province.
An official told the BBC the gang allegedly sent rhino horns to Asian markets.
More than 200 rhinos have been killed for their horns since the beginning of this year.
Rhino horns are sold in the black market and used in some Asian countries for medicinal purposes.
