Some Facebook groups have also asked that members of the community who have extra space for horses that need to be evacuated leave their details in the group for those in need. Anyone who wishes to offer a safe place for affected horses, can send a message in the Facebook group Noordhoek Wetlands Riders. Took a drive up chappies to see the extent of the fire. Pretty dramatic scene and looking close to houses. #noordhoek pic.twitter.com/32bIc6kPeO — Malu Lambert (@MaluLambert) January 27, 2020 Image: Facebook/SANParks Related Posts Elephants in Gorongosa, Mozambique born tuskless due to poaching 22 October 2021 A new study published in Science revealed that some female elephants in Mozambique were born... read more Elephant strikes back: Suspected poacher found dead in KNP 22 October 2021 An intelligence operation in Stolznek took a deadly turn when the body of a suspected... read more SAA will not resume flights to London 22 October 2021 National carrier South African Airways has elected not to resume normal operations to the UK,... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
