How a team saved the zoo
Updated | By Bronwyn Hardick

A few weeks ago we heard about the US embassy warning all US citizens in South Africa against going to the National Zoological Gardens in Pretoria. The repercussions of a statement like this is detrimental to the zoo, and so The Complimentary Breakfast started investigating what could be done to save the zoo.
They spoke to zoo officials to establish what the problem is, got top cop Bushie Engelbrecht on board to do a security assessment of the area, and the Mayor of the City of Tshwane to commit to a plan to make this area safer by talking Bushie's advice into consideration.
The team ended up broadcasting from the zoo to see if the relevant changes had been implemented, and finally the City Of Tshwane put out an official press release, committing publicly to making our national zoo and the area safer.
This is how it all unfolded:
