Duma the elephant's last home | Carte Blanche | M-Net

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝟭𝟱 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰.
On a private game reserve in Limpopo, an adult elephant gleefully takes his first step into a mud bath as a group of delighted observers cheers him on. It’s a taste of freedom for Duma the elephant, and a victory for the conservationists who have worked tirelessly to get this much-loved retiree into his new home. But Duma wasn’t always known by this name. For decades, he was Charley, spending much of his life as a circus performer before becoming the star attraction at the National Zoo in Pretoria. For the last three years, he has been the only elephant at the zoo. Now, after a nationwide petition to retire Charley, and months of meticulous planning, he has finally reached his new home.

"Pressures his owners" Humans owning majestic creatures are disgusting! We are not UAE or those people

[@MrEvansjethro]

As much as they've given Charlie his natural habitat and his African name Duma, it wouldv'e been nice if we were given back our land. Hypocrites!

I hope Pretoria Zoo replaces Charlie with another elephant. Pretoria Zoo is known for having a wide range of wild animals. Schools travel from neighbouring provinces just to see these wild animals in person. I really do hope Pretoria Zoo finds another elephant to replace Charlie

No need for Zoos in SA . You’re fortunate to have so many nature reserves,

[@ernestmahlangu6218]

@@lolasoares1464 it comes down to affordability. Not everyone can go to those nature reserves
