Description: Memorial plaque of Charles Aldridge Swart (18 Aug 1973 – 21 Aug 1998) who was killed by a leopard in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.  During a night drive in 1998, an old, emaciated female leopard attacked and killed the junior ranger who disembarked from a tourist vehicle on the Matsulwane Bridge, close to Matjulu Water Hole. The same evening the leopard was tracked down by rangers and shot. The post mortem revealed that she was emaciated and severely infected with tuberculosis.
