NATIONAL NEWS - A massive search has been launched for a male lion, which was spotted a few kilometres outside of Dundee.
The lion, which was seen in the vicinity of the Dundee/ Nquthu area, killed a calf in the area on Sunday and attempted to kill another yesterday. Workers on the farm also spotted large tracks in the ground.
Motion sensor cameras were set up in the area and footage captured a large male lion wandering the area.
SAPS, members of the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife and farmers are now searching for the lion, in an attempt to capture it alive. It remains unclear where the animal came from or how it ended up in the area.
Anyone who sees the lion is urged to contact Warrant Officer Khumalo at the Dundee Police Station urgently.
Massive tracks have been found by workers.
