BERLIN (Reuters) - German police evacuated two train stations in Munich late on Thursday, saying on Twitter they had received a tip regarding a planned militant attack on New Year’s Eve in the Bavarian capital.


A police spokeswoman declined to give further details, saying a search for possible suspects had been launched.


“Actual lead that in #Munich a terror attack is planned. Please avoid crowd gatherings as well as the central train station and the Pasinger train station,” read a translation of the German tweet.


It added: “Pasinger and central stations have been evacuated. Trains are no longer running. Please follow police instructions.”


Another tweet from the police said: "We note explicitly once again that we take the threat very seriously. Please remain alert."


The measures added to security fears in Europe heightened by Belgium’s decision to cancel New Year’s Eve celebrations in Brussels, citing a suspected plot to carry out an attack in the capital.


Belgian police said late on Thursday that three people had been arrested for questioning as part of an investigation into the plot.


German police canceled a friendly soccer game between Germany and the Netherlands in the city of Hanover on Nov. 17 hours before it was due to start because of fears of a planned bombing attack.


The match was due to have been held four days after the attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. After the cancellation, German government officials struggled to give the soccer-crazy country a convincing explanation, saying only that it had been the right decision.


No arrests were made and no explosives were found after the cancellation.


German Chancellor Angela Merkel has rebuffed pressure to clamp down on migrant arrivals along Bavaria’s border with Austria, which critics say allowed Islamic State to smuggle in militants to carry out attacks in Europe.


Opposition to her stance grew at home and abroad after two of the suicide bombers in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks were found to be have been carrying fake Syria passports.


In an apparent effort to allay those concerns, Germany said on Thursday it would start holding personal hearings for asylum seekers from Syria as of Friday, reversing a policy of granting almost automatic refugee status for Syrians.


Syrians have since the end of 2014 enjoyed a simplified asylum process, which has exempted them from personal hearings.


Security concerns were also heightened in the United States where memories were fresh of the attacks in Paris and in San Bernardino, California, where 14 people were killed on Dec. 2.


In New York on Thursday, police were taking extraordinary measures to ensure security for the traditional New Year's Eve dropping of the crystal ball in Times Square, where more than a million people were expected.

South Africa is inhabited by over 51 million folk, it’s the 25th largest country in the world and has the 24th biggest population. Eighty percent of the people comprises native African populations speaking Bantu languages. The remaining 20 percent comprises Continentals, typically descendants of the English and Dutch, also Asians and racially mixed. The official languages are English, Xhosa, Zulu and Afrikaans, a Dutch dialect. It has the biggest economy in Africa and the fifth highest pro capita income on the continent , however , one quarter of the people still lives on less than $1.25 a day.


The beauty about holidays South Africa is that it can offer a spread of settings like no other country. In South Africa you can go for a genuine African safari and enjoy luxury game lodges at an accessible price, you can enjoy seaside sports and swimming, inland luxury wine reserves and quaint craft markets and even top class night life, dining, theater and all that metropolitan cities have to give.


As far as nature reserves go, you cannot miss going to the Kruger National Park that stretches over the provinces of Mpumalanga and Limpopo. Here you will find accommodation that deals with differing desires and budgets. You’ll have heard it is possible to view the “Big Five” here which are namely the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and cape buffalo. Sure there are plenty of other gigantic animals in Africa, like the hippo, or the giraffe but actually the term “Big 5” was originally a hunting term and these were the animals that were most cherished as hunting trophies.


You really should also go see the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, previously known as St Lucia Wetland park which is located along the coast of the Kwazulu Natal. The name means “miracle and wonder” and it is really suitable since it is one of the most amazing shores to be seen. It is a stretch 280km long and is the 3rd biggest natural reserve in S. A. , measuring 280 km square. It is completely uncontaminated and home to crocodiles, hippos, turtles and whales in season.


In the Eastern Cape you can stop at the Addo Elephant Park, which is home to some 450 elephants. You can view the Big 5 here too, as well as whales and great white sharks. This park has lately expanded and now covers 444 700 acres, stretching as far up as the semi-arid Karoo area around Darlington Dam. The original area was announced in 1931, when only sixteen elephants remained in the area. Now it’s a perfect ecological system and sanctuary.


The Golden Gate Highlands National Park is found at the foot of the Maluti Mountains in the Free State Province. Here you’ll be able to appreciate the imposing wonder of a view on the Drakensberg Mountains, and also admire Bushman paintings and rare sandstone formations during walks and rock climbing. This park also offers an amazing assortment of animals and birds to please nature lovers.
