The residents of Mooiplaas, near Elukwatini, say they are being tormented by elephants escaping the Songimvelo Nature Reserve.
It is reported that elephants escape through the porous fence at the nature reserve and destroy crops among others. The fence was repaired in 2024.
The locals are accusing the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency, the company managing government nature reserves in the province of negligence.
