Police say the lions escaped from their cages on Monday evening. It’s unclear how the animals managed to escape from captivity.

Limpopo police spokesperson Motlafela Mojapelo says the lions were last spotted by community members on Tuesday morning.

"The lions were allegedly spotted by community members roaming the area opposite Speaker Park Phase 1 and 2 in Alldays policing area, early this morning.

"The farm owner and the police have already summoned officials from LEDET (Limpopo Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism) and are currently on the way to the area."
