Africa-Press – Eswatini. Another week and another case of a wild animal loose in neighbouring South Africa. This time around, it’s a lioness that has escaped while being transported in the North West province.
Police spokesperson Captain Aafje Botma said the lioness escaped while in transit in a container on the back of a truck on the Beesdam road between Stella and Tlakgameng on Wednesday morning.
The owner only realised that she escaped when he reached his destination in Tlakgameng. Nature reserve workers and farmers are on the lookout for the animal.
In January, a tiger named Sheba escaped from an enclosure at Walkers Fruit Farms and was found nearby. The tiger was killed when found, as it had killed a dog, and attacked a man who was walking about a kilometre away from the farm. A week later, another tiger was spotted roaming the streets.
