ELEPHANT SHOT ON N4 HIGHWAY

A BULL elephant that escaped from the Kruger National Park has been shot dead along the N4 highway at Hectorspruit because it was disrupting traffic. The animal had to be shot when it didn’t respond to attempts to chase it back into the bush. The Mpumalanga Parks Board alerted when Hectorspruit residents reported one or more elephants were seen wandering the streets. – African Eye News Service
