I saved one a while back! The people near Rustenburg put them in two liter cool drink bottles so that they can't escape. Then they sell these to foreigners. I bought one and took it home. Unfortunately it disappeared soon after. Luckily we live in an area where they can survive easily.

Well done, but unfortunately buy paying money to "rescue" it, the cycle continues...
It is a common trick out Rustenburg way and the locals have turned it into a business.
I agree but felt so bad for the poor little thing in the bottle. I nearly slapped the guy and just gave him the money and we left. I did report this to WESSA so hopefully they will stop this in it's tracks. Terrible that people can behave like this but I just don't think they see any value in these little animals except "MONEY"
