Elephants terrorise North East District

This concern was raised by council chairperson of the North East District Council (NEDC) Florah Mpetsane, when delivering a speech during the ongoing full council meeting on Monday.

Mpetsane said the Department of Wildlife and National Parks in the district received 84 wildlife related complaints during the last quarter of 2014/15. Among these, she noted, were reports that elephants were the most problematic animals, accounting for 89percent of the incidents.
