Meanwhile, some residents of Phalaborwa in Limpopo say they have been living in fear since reports of a pride of 14 lions being on the loose at the nearby Foskor Mine. The pride has been at Foskor’s premises for a few days.“As Phalaborwa residents we live in fear. Even today I received a message that a lion was spotted at Tamboti Street and that another at the graveyard. They even sent me pictures.

“We also fear for our children’s safety, especially when they go to the bus station in the morning for school. I always wonder if we will hear that they have been mauled. They must help us quickly,” adds another resident.
