A MOZAMBICAN woman and her three-year-old child who illegally tried to enter South Africa through its largest game reserve were trampled to death by an elephant, a Kruger National Park representative said on Thursday. William Mabasa said the woman and child were part of a group of about 14 Mozambicans who tried to get into the country on Sunday by walking through the game park on foot. “They were walking through the bush when they came across a herd of elephants which charged them. They started running in all directions. When they finally got together on Monday, they realised the woman and the child were missing,” said Mabasa. Park officials discovered their bodies at Mahlangeni, a few kilometres from the park’s western border in northern South Africa. – AFP
