DON'T PROVOKE THE ANIMALS IN THEIR TERRITORY
By BRIAN KAJENGO
In light of the
uproar with regards to the recent YouTube video showing a South African
National Parks (SANParks) vehicle forcing an elephant and a calf off the road,
a full investigation was concluded, which included the studying of the footage,
information from the witnesses as well as the account from the driver.
It has noted that
certain processes followed to determine exactly what took place and according
to law a person considered innocent until proven guilty. In this case after
careful consideration the driver found not to have transgressed the park rules.
Despite the findings
the driver cautioned and instructed to exercise more caution in the future.
SANParks would like to apologise profusely to the visitors who witnessed the
incident and encourages more responsible behaviour by employees and visitors
alike.
If you wish to
report people for breaking rules at the park please contact Johan Nel, Chief
Traffic Officer, Skukuza, Tel 0137354370, Cell 0736318682; Email: johannes.nel@sanparks.org or
