News24 reports that the manager of the Seaview Predator Park in Gqeberha, where a Siberian tiger killed an employee on 16 June, is living in fear after receiving death threats. The park has also been vandalised.

The manager, who asked not to be named, said she was getting disturbing and terrifying messages from people blaming the park for David Solomon's death. He was attacked by an eight-year-old tiger named Jasper while he was repairing its enclosure with colleagues. After killing Solomon, Jasper jumped into a neighbouring enclosure and killed a male tiger named Judah. The killer tiger has since been relocated to a big cat facility in the Free State. The terrified manager said chaotic scenes erupted on Friday when a group of people vandalised the park. She said some of the people threatened her and said they would return this week. Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu said 50 people attempted to set the fence of the park alight, destroyed information boards and removed the gate. She said the people who allegedly took part in the incident were not part of Solomon's family as they were busy with a ritual inside the park at the time. Naidu added the police were closely monitoring developments and said they would investigate the threats once the manager had made a formal statement. The park manager added Solomon was more than just a colleague to them, he was also a mentor and friend. "We are very traumatised by what happened and can only now start to process our grief and loss," she stated.
