KNP warns visitors over malaria
Updated | By Sibahle Motha
The Kruger National Park (KNP) has warned holidaymakers to take measures to avoid mosquito bites.

SanParks spokesperson William Mabasa says the large amount of rain received this year has resulted in a spike in cases of malaria.
"There are pools of water in abundance everywhere and there are more cases (of malaria), especially in the northern part of the park.
"We would like for visitors to take precautionary measures by taking medication and consulting with their doctors to prevent contracting malaria. KNP is known to be one of the malaria-endemic areas in the country," Mabasa says.
The Limpopo Department of Health recently confirmed that several people have died after contracting malaria.
Provincial health department spokesperson Thabiso Teffo says the deaths are calculated at a percentage.
Teffo says 1% of the total cases reported have resulted in death.
