yusufpatel786 your peeps are looking for you. 😂

And where’s Kruger?

casspernyovest and friends kindly return to where you came from please

Why does this keep happening?

'Don't panic'....residents told🙄🙄 And, the authorities dont even know where these lions are at? False sense of secuity it seems to me

Ek to yha h Dream11pundit 🙏

If u were on ur way driving to Phalaborwa, the minute u found out abt this info ushaye i U turn ku high way plz

Kruger National Park must fix its old rusted collapsing fence.

Somehow Cassper Nyovest gonna make this about him

I guess they just want to be free and not tamed 💔

👀 the way m scared of lions 😭😭😭

He banna 😲😲😲 14!!!! Nit 1 or 2 but 14🙎🙍 How in the world did that hap....pen

golimpopo it's that wild that side hey?

They all went to the lion king set to meet queen B

Siyabonga B!!

Nala noSimba taking a walk

Guess who's not going home this recess

So the Lions unionised and took to the streets. Government ought to listen to their demands.

Hafha zwino dzi khou vhuyesa

How? Nd I know they are going to kill them 💔

White ppl starting a war

_theurbanflora

Dont be alarmed, they are going to the nearest cinema to watch the new LION KING movie. Just like the black race supported black panther movie 🎥 🍿 gotta support the culture 🦁

Imminent Danger!

This is an episode from ZOO

Lmao 14 It’s all over. 😂😂😂

It honestly makes more sense for one Crocodile to escape instead of 14 lions

The hunters are now being hunted 😂🤣

Wazeer_Desai

This is not good authorities should handle this with much speed. These lions are already hungry anything moving is dinner for them human beings included.

So they lions plotted an escape mara

Only in Limpopo. tiviiijay

14 yonke

Come oooon!!😣😐

Let's hope that all 14 lions get back safe 🙏🏼 no dead lions 🙏🏼

Mcm, these were let out to eat our people...no way they escaped 🙄. I hope people catch slaughter cook and eat them before di baja...nxa, escape my foot! I’m sure nama ya tau e monate ebile.

Disney going through extreme lengths for this Lion King promo, huh

Shamba has multiplied

Beyoncé’s impact

I went to Kruger we drove all day I did not see a single Lion and believed they are all dead now 14 escaped little idiot animals going where they most probably not wanted nxaaa 🙄🙄😠😠

Lol there's a chick I work with who comes from Phalaborwa, I hope she went home this weekend so I can get some career advancement in this motherf$_-

Eeeeeee

They heard Beyoncé's order. Come home.

Jirre! Hope no American sees this, they will want to ride elephants down the streets!

This thing of lions being on the lose is just tricky..I feel like someone didn't do their job correctly 🤷🏽‍♀️

Residents please let your dogs loose so they can protect you from those cats lions

😲😱

Huh 14 😂😂😂😂

They didn't escape. Foreigners cut the fence while coming into SA & not close it(I can back it up)then animals just get out. Stop saying they 'escaped' as if lions made a plan to get out of KrugerNational. Tell us how they got out

Even the biggest cheaters are indoors. Jub Jub has not job in Phalas 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Please somebody give these lions my ex boss’s GPS coordinates.

Scary hoo

No more drunken nights out.

😂😂😂I wonder what would happen if they had no trackers and they traveled individualy

Who was counting those Lions? Why She ddnt stop them cz i know....it's a female😢

Don't panic. They all went for auditions for the new Lion King movie which will be in 3D. I mean as a lion, who doesn't want to play Mufasa?

Don't ever kill these 14 majestic creatures! Or else

What's the difference between black people being enslaved and animals being caged!

Simba, Nalá Scar and the whole crew are out for a weekend on the town

Halala!!!! 😕

🤔🤔This bad, what should l do when suddenly confronted with 14 lions, should l run or climb a tree. Please help with awareness 😭😭😭

How the Fuk did this......o wait....it's SA.....sigh.

Oh lol

They heard Nala's Beyonce voice and they've been hypnotised😅 They escaped to go and try to find her😅🦁 LionKing2019

Something is not right here, I don't understand why lions always escape every month in Kruger national Park.

They got confused by the whole Pride Month chatter going on.

lol 🦁 jailbreak

Yohh lions why mara imagine u the first person to meet ko stradin

Everythinf is running loose. The Rand. The ANC. The Economy. And these chaps

They will eat lions again.

Iyo

They also want to go to the SAMA...

Wide gate and broad way in Matthew 7:13-14 is a doctrine of Satan in Thyatira in Rev 2:24 and Isaiah 14:14 which's taught by Paul in New Testament where strait gate and narrow way of Christ is censored and distorted by synagogue of Satan in Matthew 28:11-15

Unaware disciples of Christ are hereby notified abt already emerged Michael of Dan 12:1-3 & Mat 22:30 which's John 14:3 on earth in ZA inside NewJerusalem where the Son currently resurrect his disciples into his 2nd body inside NewJerusalem in Zechariah 2:4-5

Dear lions Please go back to the park, because you'll all be shot!

Go pussycats

So...humans, how does it feel to know that you might be breakfast,lunch or dinner for a change?

They just want their land back... 😕😏Expropriation without compensation... if the land is vacant then give it to them 😏

Joh, that's a pack of lions i won't want to meet up with

God South Africa 😲🙄 Too much adrenaline for a politically traumatized nation MYANC Magashule_Ace CyrilRamaphosa DDMabuza tito_mboweni JacksonMthembu_

Don't panic people. They're on their way to Ellis Park to play with Malcom Marx on Saturday against the Hurricanes. SuperRugby

Isn't there usually 15 in a team? Where's the other dude?

Yess my ex is in Phalaborwa,Others please be safe neh🙏🏼

Who was standing at the gate & counted them? They are boss

Relax they are tired of living in a gated area so they decided to go on a vacation.Besides its their land they can do whatever they want.

The Mapogo’s are at it again, Kinky Tale is the only one I know and you don’t want to be attacked by kinky tale

Hayi that y I’m off sick, ngekhe. NguYesu noLazaro abavuka ekufeni & both of them male

lcircum Children walking to school 😭😭😭

lord_Mulo please be safe brother

Are they back home or are they still out walking the streets?🌝🦁

Sound like they want their land to me😂😂

Somebody need to answer, is it a coincidence that a leopard from the same park kills a toddler and 14 lions escape?

Iyooooo...should we vacate

Lion is on the run and people are told not to panic,maybe they don’t watch National Geographic,Lion can maul you alive

Imagine 14 lions just just roaming around😩

Lets pray for Phalaborwa people's in advance.

simthesisss the definition of a bad day would be running into such on foot.. And the irony is it would be a good day for them...life's about perspectives

Yep it's true,call them to order.members Alok.

Perhaps a sign from nature to those who have been captured - the lions (or in this case law courts) are circling.

An entire pride mos this. What if they want to find a cinema in time for the Lion King.

Better dinner from abroad while on vacation. Don't stress, you will die in peace and no burial expenses incurred

🙆🏾‍♀️😬😳

Zandile_V 💀💀💀💀

People of Phalaborwa Damn right living in the Jumanji era....I want those lions to escape to Pitori especially Sunnyside,wanna see something

People living near game reserves should be paid a danger allowance everytime their lives are endangered by animals from these places.Anything and any reason to get a few Rands for free 🤣.

Passop!

They are just going for a walk. They'll be back.

And we always trying to tell overseas people that Africa is safe yho😂😂😂😂

They want their land back

They’re promoting Lion King.

Now I have a good reason not to visit my girlfriend in limpopo, still enjoying my time with makhwapheni

Poachers where are you we need lion fat and hides

The Kruger Nation Park 14 lions did not escape. They were just moving around. These accusations are unfounded, malicious and atrocious. No one told the lions they were captive...

14 lions walk into a bar in Phalaborwa, they ate EVERYONE. It was a horrible evening.

ThubaDlamini Days ago a toddler was mauled to death by a leopard and now this🤔 what's happening there by the Kruger😮🙆

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️😳😳14 lions of Judah?

Heh?

Imagine meeting a few of them while hitch hiking 😩

People around kruger national park are in danger the whole pride hunting on the streets

Run lions run 😻😻

Hey casspernyovest you need to have a family meeting with your relatives. They can't be escaping just like that. Get them back in order😀

Carnage on its way, this doesn't sound good at all.

Who let Lions out roar roar who let the lions out

It is pride month after all 🤷🏽‍♀️

With the level of crime in SA we can just warn the lions to be safe on their journey.

Maybe we should stop taming lions , obviously they don’t like it , every year lions escape 🤷🏿‍♂️

Why didn’t you use the “breaking news “ picture like how you did with Cassper ?

The Lion King out already?

Who counted them while they were escaping?

I'm beginning to think these Lions don't escape but released on purpose.

I say we look for the lions and welcome them what if it's just Simba from lion King just visiting us....let's be great full 😌😌😌

Ya'll dont know how to kill us neh

This is that shamba music video from last year catching up with yall

Wela_SK_ so I guess you staying in Gauteng for vac👀😂

Kanjani kanjani...😔

Meanwhile in Phalaborwa...

People of Phalaborwa just take selfies with them Lions as proof that they've escaped.

Eiiiiiish would’ve been nice to get a piece of the action Onke_ 😂😂😂

If any one is hurt we going to sue the National Park

This never gets old

I will be indoors till captured.

Yoooo 14 yabo shamba.😨😨

That's carnage. And absolute negligence.

Wow hope they don't kill them and what the hell are the staff doing this didn't happen in the past it's just last year that others escaped smells like something rotten going on there 😡😡😡

My word 🙈

I've been saying that the big cats are pulling a 'Madagascar' with these constant global escapes. The question should be where their assembly point is🤔

This is the Lord Speaking Through these LIONS, Showing us how we can take The Land Back.

Naledi_TC I think we need to be more careful about what we say because wow

This country is lawlessness even lions escape 😆

Eh 14 😳

It's 16

Lions will be poaching😁

We always go to see them... now its just the other way around.

Andrew_TOS i guess you know about this

14?it was definitely team work

Again

I don't think all of them have twitter and some might have left the phone on the charger and took a walk to appreciate nature, kanti nature is on its way to meet them.

This is an attempted coup in SA. Reckon they are saying.... 'Enough of this shit, let's take over' KrugerNationalPark

But why are these animals not fitted with trackers. If they hurt or kill someone, it’s oh shame.🧐

Sedupe_kortes

Boba sheba stay woke and don't be their next meal. Kruger National Park

I heard on the news that this pride was probably chased away by a bigger pride and sending them back to the kruger national park might lead to conflicts that will lead them to escape again. So they're actually monitoring them outside until they find a permanent solution

Escape?

The Njaa or The Baobab pride?

14 phooooo 😢

14 🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️🙆🏽‍♂️

They coming for the left...

Phalaborwa residents right now

Kruger National Park staffer's son, 2, mauled to death by leopard | IOL NewsA two-year-old toddler has been fatally mauled by a leopard at staff living quarters in the Kruger National Park (KNP). The staff should be kept safe from incidents such as this. Are their quarters not closed off or does working for KNP mean that you live amongst the animals. A child has died and an animal killed for being what they are, predators... How did this leopard venture so close to the staff quarters? Is the area not properly secured and safe from preying animals? How sad and tragic. The WILD cat did what a WILD cat does so keep an eye on your kids its their territory, peopel are just guests! Respect them!

What happened is very sad indeed. But why shoot the animal ? What evidence is there that this one incident turned it into a serial man-eater ? And how did it get into what is supposed to be a secure staff compound in the first place ? So much for conservation... Can I have its skin please Disgusting that the animal was shot.
