Due to some unforeseen circumstances, the meat ended up being temporarily stored in refrigerator of the shop while the resort was waiting to create space at the freezers in the kitchen where meat is usually stored,\u201d Ngwangwama said.<br \/>He further cautioned guests to the park to refrain from posting videos of such a nature on social media without confirmation, to avoid putting the country&#8217;s name into disrepute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":280452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-280439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
