After lots of hard work, the Manyeleti Fence Project has officially reached completion with 32 km of boundary fencing repaired and electrified thanks to a powerful collaboration between GKEPF, MTPA, and dedicated partners on the ground!
Completing this fence is so much more than a simple boundary fence, it is a shared asset that protects wildlife, reduces human-wildlife conflict, and strengthens the safety of communities and reserves alike.
At the recent handover celebration, the spotlight was on the 14 community-based fence monitors, now fully trained and equipped to take ownership of their section with support from the Community Policing Forum (CPF) and local SAPS. They have already detected and reported incursions reacting swiftly to protect wildlife and proving the power of local leadership in frontline protection.
We are proud to stand alongside our partners and funders who made this possible, including Friends of Tintswalo, Wildlife Up Close, Kruger Safari Lodge, D&H Fencing, and WWF-SA’s Khetha Programme.
This project reflects what landscape-level protection truly means: shared responsibility, community involvement, and a vision for a safer, more resilient Greater Kruger.
