 Khuswa’s concern is the safety of the public or anyone who can come into contact with the pride.

Initially the Department of Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET) had reported that they would relocate the lions back to the Kruger National Park, but that all changed when LEDET MEC, Thabo Mokone opposed the move.
