Joburg Zoo Dec ‘24

The zoo has been under-maintained. The buildings, particularly the Amazon Centre has no working lights, the building leaks water with severe damp and the paint across the zoo’s buildings is cracked and peeling.

The bathrooms aren’t stocked with toilet paper and paper towels, lights don’t work, windows are broken and they smell terrible.

The water features within the zoo are inoperable and the footpaths are overgrown with ****s and filthy.

The zoo needs to invest in maintaining the park for visitors to enjoy. The zoo has the potential of being a world class attraction, with a bit more attention to detail regarding the aesthetics of the buildings and facilities, this could easily be attained.
