Elephant cull to return

IT IS the issue that has bitterly divided game managers, conservationists and animal rights groups for years. But the South African Government has finally concluded it will have to lift a moratorium on the culling of native elephants to cope with a booming population. Amid protest and expressions of relief, the Environment Minister, Martinus van Schalkwyk, said the number of elephants in national parks and private reserves had increased from 8000 to nearly 20,000 in just over a decade.
