Freinds of Free Wildlife’s Wendy Brodie said, “We know nothing about a tiger on the loose. The only thing of interest is a dead lactating jackal found on Main Road recently.”
Brodie added that they will, however, keep Fourways Review updated should they hear anything.
The metro police spokesperson, Edna Mamonyane said, “We are aware of the allegations that there is a tiger on the loose in the area but we cannot confirm these allegations as yet. We intend to release a statement once we have concrete information about this matter.”

This comes after concerned residents contacted radio stations stating that a tiger escaped from Montecasino.
