Question NW2178 to the Minister of Environmental Affairs
25 August 2017 - NW2178
Hadebe, Mr TZ to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
Whether she can provide all the applications, refusals and/or permits granted in relation to the international export of (a) live rhinoceros and (b) lion bones from South Africa for the period from 01 January 2016 to 30 March 2017 in terms of the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act, 2004 (Act No. 10 of 2004), the Threatened or Protected Species Regulations of 2007 and/or the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora Regulations of 2010?
Reply:
a) Yes.
b) Yes.
However, the information will have to be sourced from all the different provinces, which will require sufficient time. I do however, advise that such information be sourced directly from the responsible authorities/implementors, who are provincial governments.
