The 'Brave Ones': Zimbabwe's Women-only Rangers Fighting Poaching

Chiyevedzo Mutero was one of dozens competing in the remote Zimbabwean bush to join the all-female anti-poaching Akashinga rangers when she broke her finger.She didn't consider quitting -- she even smiled as her finger was bandaged, before returning to the brutal military-style training."I'm happy, that's why I am not crying. I'm trying to be an Akashinga girl," the 22-year-old said.The rangers, armed and dressed in khaki combat gear, track and arrest poachers in five reserves, all former trophy hunting areas, encompassing 4,000 square kilometres (1,545 square miles) near the Zambian border in northern Zimbabwe.
