Johannesburg - Four men were arrested on suspicion of poaching at the Kruger National Park on Monday, the ministry of defence said.

The four Mozambican nationals were found with hunting rifles, binoculars and an axe, said spokesperson Ndivhuwo Mabaya.

They were arrested by members of the SA National Defence Force who had been deployed to the park, he said.

SANDF soldiers had been deployed on the park's borders with Mozambique and Zimbabwe from the beginning of April.

"We have declared war with poachers in all our parks," said Defence Minister Lindiwe Sisulu as she congratulated the SANDF members on the arrests.
