A 34 year old man of Zambezi district in North-western province died on the spot in a crocodile attack.
Alex Kang’ombe of Mayeng’u area in Mazaza village in senior Chief Nshima’s area in Chitokoloki Sub-Boma mate his fate when the banana boat he was in capsized on the Zambezi river.
The incident occurred over the weekend around 16 : 30 hours when Alex was fishing in Zambezi river.
Both Zambezi District Commissioner (DC) Bisalom Luwaile and the father to the deceased, Mr Kang’ombe Kang’ombe confirmed the incident in separate interviews with ZANIS in Zambezi district.
They narrated to ZANIS that Alex, who suffered several body injuries, died at Chitokoloki Mission hospital.
The deceased body was retrieved on Sunday but unfortunately he died on the same day of profusely bleeding.
“Yes, I can confirm that my son Alex lost his private parts and died in Chitokoloki Mission hospital after he was caught by the crocodile on a fishing spree on the Zambezi river. We burried Alex over the weekend,” Mr. Kang’ombe said.
Mr Luwaile has appealed to the Zambia Wilde life Authority (ZAWA) to consider cropping the reptiles in the crocodile infested river.
Mr Luwaile said barely a month passes without the animals claiming a life in the district.
“ZAWA should crop the crocodiles because it is finishing our population. People are afraid of doing household chaos on the Zambezi river,” Mr. Luwaile lamented.
Efforts by ZANIS to get a comment from ZAWA failed because the phone was allegedly not being answered by the authorities.
