The search for the wild cats was called to break yesterday as it grew dark and had become dangerous to continue with the search.

It's believed the animals were last seen passing the N4 in Matsulu, near the park.

The South African National Parks spokesperson William Mabasa says they have not received any updates from its team on the ground searching for the lions.

Mabasa says its crucial for communities around the park to contact them immediately if they spot the lions. 

"That's very crucial - when they spot these lions they should not do anything about it. We're talking about dangerous animals here," he said.
