Lions invade Sinazongwe
Sinazongwe District Council Vice Chairperson has disclosed that Five Lions have invaded Sinazongwe district in Chiyabi area killing seven cattle.
Mr. Fisher Zimana told ZANIS that people in the area feared for their lives.
He has appealed to Zambia Wild Life Authority (ZAWA) to come and shoot the lions before life was lost.
Mr. Zimana said pupils were afraid to go to School because they fear to be attacked on the way.
He said if ZAWA failed to respond to people’s request to shoot the animals or chase them the community would be severely affected and the Chiyabi Basic School would be closed.
In another development Gamela Village Community Development Health Worker Ackson Siankandi in Senior Chief Mweemba area said people were sharing drinking water with the pigs.
Mr.Siankandi said the pigs have become too many and the owners were failing to enclose them.
He said the situation has become a health hazard because they were living their faeces anywhere.
The Community Development Health Worker narrated that pigs were even grabbing food from children if they dared to feed from outside.
“All efforts to have meetings to ensure that the owners enclose have failed and we fear that cholera my strike the Gamela people, the mess they are living is so unbearable,” Mr Siankanda said.

kill those cats …ZAWA what’s your problem?pipo gather and kill them …why wait for police?
Why the rush to kill, just tranquilize the animals and relocate them to some game park.
#2 You are spot on. #1 does not understand the value of wildlife and what in means in tourism terms.
If zawa does not move in then waste them! Human life can not be compared to the value of tourism!
yah human life is just too perculiar to be compared with a lion. How many people benefit from seeing those lions? Mwanawasa and company.
Tranquilize them but if it fails, kill them period.
Nkalamyu hehehehehe awe shuwa
Please ZAWA I appeal to you to do the right thing for the first time. Please translocate these cats to a game park. Africa Parks for example wants to restock Liuwa plains with lions. This is an opportunity to do so. Sedate the lions and translocate them to Liuwa plains. Dont kill them like you did to the Leopard in Monze. The lions will have a lot of food in Liuwa were the Wilderbeest population has more than double in the 5 years Africa parks has been running it.
eat them!!
Eat them? Nidiyo? Relish? Bembas I thought its only monkeys.
Human life is the crown of all creation. By all proper means lets protect human life.
Its unthinkable that with authorities in place such issues can take long to be addressed. ZAWA do the right thing. Come on guy sI know you can!!
its better these wild animals killed instead od terasing pipo in sinazingwe area.
i dont fill okay when ever i head pipo being terased by wild beast when zawa is there watch the animals, pipo rose lifes because of ignorant of zawa please wake up pipo are finishing just kill them.
iwe chi #12 ZAWA is no ignorant
