R.v.Sefu Abdullah, Crim. Rev. 19-D-67; 18/2/67; Otto, J.

Accused were convicted o unlawfully possessing a Government trophy (Cap. 302, ss. 49, 53) upon evidence that they were found in the possession of greater kudu and impala meat.

            Held in no case can the possession of game meat support a charge of unlawful possession of Government trophy. The act defines a Government trophy as being a durable portion, and meat is not a durable portion of an animal. The convictions were quashed.
