Latest statement from Addo PR:
A toxicology report has revealed that the cause of death of 36 jackals, two crows and two unconfirmed bat-eared foxes in Addo Elephant National Park last week was the carbamate pesticide “methomyl”. The initial count of 21 jackals and one crow on Sunday 10 August after the first reports of the dead animals by guests has increased as more and more carcasses are being discovered by the Park’s conservation staff. SANParks’ Corporate Investigation Services unit is investigating the matter. A case has been opened with the police.
Sounds to have been done deliberately

Here's the latest media release

By the sounds of things, the carcasses have been found in a concentrated area near Rooidam, so I'm hopeful that the effects will be limited. Not nice that this stuff can still cause issues up to 90 days later
