Buffaloes Terrorise Nata

To compound the wildlife menace, elephants are said to be a regular feature in the village, while hippos usually make occasional forays as well. Fear of the beasts reign supreme among residents as the animals have virtually turned Nata into an animal kingdom. The village's senior subordinate tribal authority Mokgwathi Makgesi, believes the buffaloes have moved away from the wild because of drought.

"They came here looking for water because their drinking places in the wild had dried up, and I think they must have liked the place and decided to stay. It is just that they now started causing a lot of problems for people here," he said.
