Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife says it cannot confirm or deny the presence of two lions reported seen in the Nembe area in the uMlalazi municipality in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
On Sunday Ezemvelo said there were reports that three different families had seen two lions, a male and a female.
Musa Mntambo, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife communications manager, said they immediately deployed field rangers to the location to attempt to confirm their presence, and to track and catch them. Unfortunately, said Mntambo, said the rangers did not see any lion spoor in the area. He said because the area has a hard surface it made it difficult to detect spoor.
Hluhluwe iMfolozi Park , the game reserve with lions near where the male and female were allegedly seen, is more than 100km away from the Nembe area. Ezemvelo has not received reports of livestock killed by lions. It said it would be rare for lions to travel more than 100km without killing any livestock.
