Valuation of trophy parts

My relative who is a herbalist was found in possession of one horn of impala which he uses for traditional healing. He is now charged with unlawful possession of government trophy namely impala worth only USD 390. Can the impala horn have such value really? Is this value not maliciously inflated?

Valuation of government trophy is governed by the Wildlife Conservation (Valuation of Trophies) Regulations, 2012. Under Regulation 3(2) of these Regulations, the value of any part of a wild animal is calculated on the basis of the entire animal. Therefore the value of impala horn is calculated on the basis of the value of one live impala. The value of one live impala as prescribed under the First Schedule to the Wildlife Conservation (Valuation of Trophies) Regulations, 2012 is USD 390. The value of impala horn stated in the charge against your uncle is consistent with the law and not inflated or actuated by malice as you suspect.

Although the law recognises traditional medicine and traditional healing, the use of government trophy for traditional healing without a trophy possession permit does not exonerate the traditional healer from the criminal liability. A traditional healer who uses or intends to use government trophy in the carrying out of his services must seek and obtain a trophy registration certificate from the director of wildlife as provided under the Wildlife Conservation Act, 2009.

A traditional healer or anyone for that purpose who uses a horn or skin of a wild animal for traditional healing without obtaining trophy registration certificate is committing an economic offence. Unauthorised possession of government trophy is specified under paragraph 14 of the Economic and Organised Crime Control Act as an economic offence which, under section 60(2) of the same Act, attracts a minimum penalty of 20 years imprisonment.
