Durban - Kloof residents and visitors to Krantzkloof Nature Reserve have questioned why the picnic sites in the reserve have become overgrown and neglected, but the state of the picnic areas might point to a far bigger problem.
Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife (EKZNW) said the sites were closed because of Covid-19 protocols regarding gatherings, but added that “financial constraints” had also played a role in the state of the sites. Trails remain open for the public.
IOS reader Barbara Calderwood, who has lived on Bridle Road for more than 50 years, said: “No doubt everyone who uses Kloof Falls Road/Bridle Road has observed the disgraceful condition of the Krantzkloof Reserve. It has always been a source of pleasure and pride for nature lovers.

Durban - Upper Highway residents have reported an increase in illegal hunting in the area near the Kloof gorge.
Shelley Keene, who resides on the edge of the Kloof conservancy area, told The Mercury that she had noticed that on weekends men, armed with weapons, came with dogs to hunt for animals in the gorge.
“So far we have seen them kill porcupines, a large spotted genet, hedgehogs and a buck.”
Keene said her family became aware of the issue a few years and had reported it to the SPCA.
