A Singapore court sentenced a South African man to two years in jail on Friday for smuggling rhino horns, the heaviest sentence ever handed down in the city-state for smuggling wildlife parts. Gumede Sthembiso Joel was arrested at Singapore’s Changi airport in 2022 after authorities found 20 rhino horns weighing 34.7 kilogram in his bags. Sniffer dogs detected the contraband in his baggage while he was traveling from South Africa to Laos through Singapore. They were worth about Sg $1.2 million (US$895,000) — the city-state’s largest seizure of rhino horn. The 33-year-old was handed the sentence after pleading guilty to two charges of transiting with rhino horns without a valid permit.
