A Zimbabwean professional hunter charged over the death of Cecil the Lion has been arrested for allegedly trying to smuggle sable antelopes.
Theo Bronkhorst was detained after the discovery of 29 antelope being smuggled into South Africa.
He is in custody in the city of Bulawayo and will appear in court today, police said.
Mr Bronkhorst is on bail for running the allegedly illegal hunt in July culminating in the killing of Cecil the Lion by US dentist Walter Palmer.
The case sparked an international outcry, with Mr Palmer only returning to work earlier this month after going into hiding.
