From Sanparks UPDATED AT 9AM
⚠️Social Media Update⚠️
Please note that the Phabeni gate low bridge has been cleared, the gate is now accessible again. Please note that the situation remains fluid with changes anticipated constantly while the park continue to receive water flow from outside too. The water could flow over the bridge blocking access once again during this time.
We will also continue to closely monitor the water flow around Crocodile Bridge with social media updates as and when required.
