Phabeni Gate temporarily closes due to the Bridge Repair
The Kruger National Park (KNP)’s Phabeni Gate leading up to the road S3 (from the Gate to intersection which leads to Numbi Gate) will temporarily be closed on 16 - 20 May 2016; due to repair work that needs to be done on the Phabeni low water bridge.
“We experienced heavy rains in early March 2016, which damaged the bridge at Phabeni and our Engineers managed to restore access for interim use within a week after the rain. The team plans to work on the remaining bridge repair which would take at least a week long to complete; bringing about the pending temporary closure of the gate”, said the KNP’s General Manager: Communications & Marketing, William Mabasa.
Guests are advised to use alternative gates such as Numbi and Paul Kruger for entry and exit during the period of the closure.

Radio is advising visitors to use Numbi Gate when approaching Kruger from the South, as there is serious ongoing Taxi violence in Hazyview at the moment. Police have also joined the fray. Hazyview must be AVOIDED at the moment.

A pic from the incident...the taxi people were firing at each other at one stage, and also got rubberised by the police...they blocked the road for some reason, some running away with the keys.

Still no reason why they have been blocking the road

Absolutely, Lis. But the logic and mentality is that it gets attention from their rulers. Screw other road users.Lisbeth wrote:Still no reason why they have been blocking the road
