South African National Parks (SANParks) management today confirmed that services at two rest camps in the Kruger National Park (KNP) were affected when members of staff failed to report for duty at Letaba and Olifants on Sunday 23 June 2019, due to a labour dispute. Management and union shop stewards met until late on Sunday afternoon where it was resolved that workers would return to their posts while their concerns are being addressed.

Reacting to the withdrawal of labour by members of staff, the Managing Executive of the KNP, Glenn Phillips said “we are happy that our colleagues have agreed to return to work and I sincerely apologise to our visitors who were inconvenienced during this time.

SANParks is advising those who are intending to travel to the KNP for the school holidays not to cancel their bookings as the situation has been resolved.
