Rhino horn is the world's most expensive commodity. Gram for gram it fetches more than diamonds and gold because of demand in Asia, where it's falsely believed to cure cancer. Last year, the South African authorities killed 42 poachers. But that didn't stop a record number of rhinos being killed: more than 1200. Most poachers come from over the border in neighbouring Mozambique, one of the world's poorest countries. Leana Hosea journeyed from South Africa to Mozambique to speak to those protecting the rhino and those poaching them.
