Poachers attack, burn down lodge belonging to aha group, Mpumalanga

The African population in South Africa seem intent to keep on destroying and killing until everything is gone, including wildlife and sustainable development. This is #TheAfricanWay. It is only in Africa where the will to destroy and kill is so strong that a section of the community will decide to kill the goose that is laying the golden eggs and deliberately destroy jobs.

On Sunday 31 January 2021, a group of poachers burned down the Bongani Mountain Lodge in the Mthethomusha Game Reserve adjacent to the Kruger national nature reserve in Mpumalanga.

The Bongani lodge is also part of the aha hotel and lodges group. A total of 80 workers have been left unemployed because of the attack.
A poacher was recently shot dead in the vicinity and as a result the rangers were attacked and had to defended themselves in a battle that lasted all night. At 05:00 on Saturday that they ran out of bullets and retreated.

The Police was called but it was reported that they did not get involved.

A group of armed attackers first attacked the gate of the game reserve on Sunday, setting it alight, before moving to the lodge and burning that down as well.
