It was with deep shock and sadness that WRSA learned of the sudden death of Timbavati Private Nature Reserve Head Game Ranger, Anton Mzimba, on Tuesday.

Anton was a highly valued, deeply appreciated partner – a hero bravely holding the front lines – in the ongoing war against rhino poaching.

We take this opportunity to express our deeply felt sympathy to his loved ones and colleagues for the unfathomable grief the loss of such a good father, husband, son, brother, friend, and team member have left in their hearts.

To a fellow rhino warrior: Sir, we salute you and remember you with honour.

In memory of Anton’s legacy, we share his own words in this beautiful video produced by Leads 2 Business when they visited Timbavati Private Nature Reserve to meet the anti-poaching team and tell their story.
