The NSPCA’s Special Projects Unit travels across all nine provinces to help enforce South Africa’s animal welfare legislation.
For Senior Inspector Arno de Klerk, protecting animals is a commitment that has shaped nearly two decades of his life.
As Manager of the National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) Special Projects Unit, De Klerk leads investigations into some of South Africa’s most complex animal welfare cases. From organised animal cruelty and illegal racing to monitoring live animal transport and pursuing criminal prosecutions, his team’s work takes them across all nine provinces in pursuit of justice for animals that can’t speak for themselves.
NSPCA relies on community support and corporate donors
Despite the critical role the NSPCA plays in protecting animals, many South Africans are unaware that the organisation receives no government funding.
