It takes Zambezi sharks over 20 years to reach breeding maturity. Must this butcher be allowable to carry on we fear that the full Zambezi shark people of Protea Banks will soon be gone. At present the only sharks seen on Protea Banks that have any form of protection, are the Great White and Dappled Ragged-tooth. Many other species, like the Zambezi, are in acute need of fortification and we need your help to get the powers that be to act and get deceitful charters to stop their slaughter.
