JOHANNESBURG – President Cyril Ramaphosa has denied allegations made by international animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) that it profits from illegal hunting.
Peta accused Ramaphosa and his Limpopo Phala Phala Wildlife hunting farm of facilitating trophy hunting for profit.
The organization claimed that Ramaphosa is profiting from the alleged behavior through a company called Tsala Hunting Safaris.
Peta said he has recorded conversations with some of the Ramaphosa workers who admit that he has the same interest in all the hunts carried out.
In a statement, the Presidency denied the accusations, but added that Phala Phala carries out annual sacrifices of some animal species to avoid carrying excessive amounts.
The presidency added that Phala Phala issued a notice to terminate its relationship with Tsala following allegations that the hunting company facilitates the killing of endangered or protected species on other properties.
