Xaba-Ntshaba, Ms PP to ask the Minister of Environmental Affairs
On what basis was a licence issued to a certain person (name furnished) to trade in lion bones?
Reply:
The Department is responsible for the allocation of the lion bone quota to provincial authorities who are responsible for the issuance of the export permit. As per the information received from the provinces, the Department does not have records of any of the provinces having issued an export permit for lion bone trade to the person referred to.
