A 53-year-old man and 75-year-old woman from the Netherlands were killed on Wednesday.
The incident happened in the man’s house in Seeikoei Street, reports Lowvelder.

The man’s wife (53) and mother (80) survived the attack and managed to reach the panic button at around 22:15.

They were rushed to hospital, where they are receiving treatment.

Police have refused to release any names until the victims’ next-of-kin overseas have been notified.

Marloth Park is a holiday town and wildlife sanctuary on the bank of the Crocodile River between Malelane and Komatipoort on the N4 highway. It boasts four of the Big Five with the exception of elephant.

On the southern boundary of the Kruger National Park, Crocodile Bridge gate is 14 km and Malelane gate 35 km from Marloth Park.

We used to go there quite often, until it started becoming very unsafe.

They killed by wild animals Marloth Park has had its fair share of robberies and killings. I remember not long ago, a South African writer was killed there too.

I suspect more accidental deaths here or violence against Saffers. We are generally not a violent nation resorting to these type of crimes.

big story in the dutch papers. Good for tourism...

maar een lokale krant weet dat het om de van oorsprong Belgische Koenraad Collier (53) en een 74-jarige vrouw uit Nederland gaat ...
Collier zou, zo meldt dagblad Die Laevelder, naar buiten zijn gegaan en daarop door de mannen zijn overmeesterd. De vier in het huis aanwezigen zijn vervolgens door de mannen vastgebonden en kregen lappen in hun mond gepropt. ,,De overvallers hebben een paar waardevolle voorwerpen meegenomen en zijn er vandoor gegaan.’’

It's all the people with way too much money that permanently have groups of 20 workers there building stuff. And a whole following of cleaners and gardeners...

Lots of white people get offed in SA, mainly by.....
Green Mamba's , the local wildlife is very dangerous if you do not know how to handle it , then please call someone equipped and ready to deal with all the dangerous fauna .
Please do not ever consider actually learning how to do this or equipping yourself as this may be a hate crime against nature.........

RIP

Hopefully the necessary travel advisories will follow.

The ANC has lost control of the expectancies they created.
