EFF provincial leader Collen Sedibe admitted the error.

"We are still engaging with the land claimants at Kruger National Park and the people who were staying there because they said Skukuza is not the right name. He was the man who kicked them out of the park," Sedibe told journalists.

The Department of Culture, Sport and Recreation clarified that the legislature's resolution does not change the park's name. Spokesperson Sibongile Nkosi said while the motion reflects a political position, "it does not override or substitute the official naming process".
