Lions have attacked several villages and killed five herds of cattle in Itumbi area in Chief Kaingu’s chiefdom in Itezhi-Tezhi district in Southern Province.
One cow was killed and eaten yesterday afternoon while four herds of cattle were killed in the early hours of today.
Alfred Malawo, the owner of the cattle that have been killed, confirmed the incident to ZANIS in a walk-in interview in Itezhi-Tezhi today.
He said that people in Itumbi area in Kaingu Chiefdom are living under fear of attacks from the carnivorous beats which are roaming the bushes around the villages in Itumbi.
Mr. Malawo said that the matter has been reported to Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) in Ngoma headquarters by Chief Kaingu although they have not yet gone to the area.
He further said that there was need for ZAWA to put measures that will control the dangerous animals before they start attacking people or kill more domestic animals.
ZANIS
typical, they will only get to the area when human life is lost!!!!….fools!!!
HISTORY TAKING : Since when? When was it reported? Who reported? To who did he/they report to? WHAT was the response after reporting? Did they say they will look into it? If so how SOON? If the answer was VERY SOON thats a political chorus VERY SOON or AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to Zambian politians it means after yeeeeaaaarrrrs YEARS
Zambia, the real Africa. The news never seems to stop.
LT what’s a herd of cattle? When you say, “five herds of cattle were killed”. Do you know what that means? According to the story above, its five cows were killed not five herds of cattle. Maybe you mean heads and not herds.
#4 DYONKO. Its correct to say 5 herds of cattle. You can not say 5 cows. Not kumwenamo abaneno
Pochers have finished game. Please restock the parks before more humans are lost. Move away from the game parks. Community should reorganise and sort the problem, waiting for ZAWA will delay the process. The area is too big for ZAWA to manage. They are also at risk. No tp, no incetives, no accomodation. How can they carry their work well. Empower the local community RB. I support you dont disapooint me. I have given free information. Sata has no idea of game management he will clear all the lions just like he did to the monkeys in Mkushi
This need an urgent attention. No politics should be attached to this.
What is the Gorg- doing? This is not something that should be taken so lightly, What is the ministry respossible for Game Parks doing? Jabulani, I get You HISTORY TAKING”””””” BA KA BOOLALA. DOING NOTHING. ITS A SAD LIFE TO THINK ABOUT. I have my young brother who lives there, That doesnt sound good or Funn at all. WHEN WILL THESE PEOPLE WAKE UP UNTIL A HUMAN BEING IS KILLED. GET MMD OUT. TRY ANYTHING’, YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE DID WITH KK. HE WAS GOOD THOUGH, BUT HIS FOLLOWERS WERE ALL THIEVES> SO AS MMD>
