Is female southern rhino "Afoor" deceased?
She is mentioned as still alive in the studbook during the end of 2011.

It looks like she was transferred to Lichtenburg Game Breeding Centre in South Africa for the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa.

Captured at the Cente or by?
Lichtenburg bred White Rhinos in semi-captivity back in the day.

Like Nix said the Lichtenburg bred White Rhino in the past, in fact it was one of the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa's (Pretoria Zoo's) satellite facilities.
I am unsure if the specific rhino is still alive, but I will do some digging for you.
I can however tell you that the zoo currently still keeps White Rhino. I believe 2 individuals, but it can be 3 or even more.
The Pretoria Zoo was also the first zoo to ever keep white rhino in captivity

Does anyone know the names of the deceased and currently living southern white rhinos at this zoo?
