The search for the four cheetahs still on the loose in the Northern Cape continues on Friday. The Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform said on Thursday that the four cheetahs are still at large.
“The Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development, and Land Reform wishes to inform the public that the four cheetahs that have been widely reported on are still at large and that the search is still continuing.”
Earlier this week, the cheetahs were spotted in Tsineng, Matlhwaring and Ga-Sese river in the John Taolo Gaetsewe District. “The last time they were seen a couple of kilometers away from the community and so far there have been no reports of any livestock harmed or killed by them.”
The team, which is comprised of the South African Police Service as well as the Department, is still on the ground and searching for any possible traces that could lead to the spotting of the cheetahs.
“Furthermore, the Department would like to inform and reassure the public that the cheetahs are not harmful to human beings. They can, however, be dangerous to livestock.”
