Go skattie, go!

Public figure, Evita Bezuidenhout (pictured), earlier this year tweeted “Declare a #rhino state of emergency before we lose them all. And cut off the noses of poachers. That will let them know what it feels like!”

@TannieEvita , Konica Minolta South Africa could not agree more!
The Bidvest company has so far collected and donated more than half a million Rand (collected over the past six months) to the cause and it will continue to contribute R100 for every bizhub multifunctional device sold over 2012.

These donations are specifically being used towards an initiative spearheaded by the University of Pretoria’s Faculty of Veterinary Science to build a central DNA profile database for rhinos across Africa, known as RhODIS.
