28 June 2018
Guests of Kruger National Park are informed that Paul Kruger Gate is inaccessible due to protests taking place at communities outside the gate (approximately 20 km away from the Park) on the R536, today, 28 June 2018 and is blocked at the moment.
Guests are advised to, for now, use alternative gates such as Phabeni (which is about 10 km away from Hazyview on the R536) to enter or exit the Park until further notice. The situation is being monitored closely.

Warning possible closure R536 road to Skukuza 10 July
Kruger National Park
@SANParksKNP
We've been reliably informed that the community members of Cork Trust are planning to close the R536 road to Skukuza tomorrow morning on 2019/07/10 at about 04:00am, which will affect Kruger Gate. Guests are advised to use Phabeni Gate as an alternative.

I checked a bit. The gate access is still blocked, but access to Cork is open and Private Reserve gate access is via Ronaldsea!
