Wildlife authorities are urging Malalane residents to be on the look-out after a herd of elephants damaged an electric fence along a Kruger National Park boundary.
The Nkomazi Local Municipality has urged residents in Malalane to report any roaming elephants when sighted, reports Mpumalanga News.

The elephants were successfully driven back to the KNP by game rangers on Saturday.
The municipality said the rangers will remain in the area to monitor the situation until the damaged fence is repaired.
