News24 reports that the manager of the five-star Tintswalo Safari Lodge in Limpopo was wounded after being shot four times by a disgruntled employee at the weekend.

Emily Leuner, 38, was shot by the staff member who was dismissed following a disciplinary hearing, Tintswalo Collection, the group that owns the lodge, advised. "The perpetrator returned to the lodge and shot her four times in the upper body and legs, before taking his own life," it reported. Leuner was airlifted from Hoedspruit to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg, where she is currently in the ICU. "Emily is stable and conscious, but has sustained serious spinal and lung injuries, which will require extensive treatment and rehabilitation," the company indicated. An attempted murder case is being investigated. The lodge is set in the Manyeleti Nature Reserve near the greater Kruger area in Hoedspruit.
