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 You may also like Related Posts Locust outbreak in Karoo and Namibia could threaten pasture 25 February 2020 There has been an outbreak of locusts in South Africa's northwestern Karoo region and in... read more World’s first cheetah cubs born through IVF 25 February 2020 Two cheetah cubs at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in the US were born through... read more What you need to know when travelling with older pets 25 February 2020 Your four-legged, furry friend has been by your side for many summers and the two... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
