A few of the lions that escaped on Monday from the Kruger National Park were being recaptured one by one on Tuesday afternoon on the border with Swaziland.
Reports had earlier suggested that the original group of five or six lions had probably split into two groups, and SANParks officials told the media that they had so far only made sightings of three of the (presumably) five lions.

At about 3pm, eNCA reporter Mike Appel shared video content on Twitter of the second lion being captured.
