Mokonyane passed away in a Johannesburg hospital in the early hours of Thursday morning after a lengthy illness.
Although the numbers have declined by over 200 from last year compared to 2017, the minister said that too many rhinos are still being killed.
Former Bosasa employee Frans Vorster says that the facilities management company continued to hire luxurious cars for Minister Nomvula Mokonyane’s daughter even though she kept on damaging them.
Environmental Affairs Minister Nomvula Mokonyane says that she won’t pay attention to reports that she will be implicated in testimony in the commission of inquiry into state capture.
At least 36 pieces of rhino horn, worth about R23 million, were found this week during a K9 search at several cargo warehouses.
Greenpeace South Africa says Nomvula Mokonyane wasn't its first choice for Environmental Affairs Minister but hope she does a better job than when she was at the helm of the Water and Sanitation Department.
