SA bids to put zebra, crocs on global menus - and govt says the plan could create over 200 000 jobs

South Africa has published a strategy document designed to tap the potential of the country’s vast wildlife industry to export more zebra, crocodile and other meat, as well as boost local consumption of the animals.

The law aims to formalise the industry in a country where 80% of wild animals are on private land and deemed the property of the landholders, a legal quirk that has boosted game numbers by giving the animals monetary value.
