Kruger National Park constituted from the Sabi and Shingwedzi reserves
South Africa's National Parks Act consolidated the existing Sabi and Shingwedzi game reserves into Kruger National Park, Africa's most visited large park and the model for state-run protected areas across the subcontinent. The consolidation removed remaining resident use rights across the merged area and established the park as a permanent state asset.
Historical — it happened, and the record is settled.
