Game warden killed saving tourists
A park warden was gored to death by an elephant as he made sure two British tourists escaped to safety. According to the Daily Mail, Anthony Osborne and his fiancé Danielle Butler say the warden saved their lives when the enraged animal charged at them in the Imfolozi Park, near Durban. The tourists reportedly told the newspaper: “The warden was making sure we got away as the elephant chased us. He tripped and fell. The elephant stopped chasing us and attacked him – it gored him to death with his tusks.” The couple were reportedly on the first day of a walking safari when the tragedy happened, and had been fully briefed about what they should do in an emergency. The warden, Fortune Mkhize, is reported to have tried to lure the elephant away from the couple, who were walking with two American tourists, but he tripped and dropped his rifle. After the attack, the Mail reports, the elephant ripped a tree out of the ground and “wandered off into the bush”. An official for the park is quoted as saying that the death was the first in the park since it opened nearly 50 years ago. Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad
