Crocodiles invade Kashitu residential area

The Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) says quick action will be taken to control the presence of crocodiles in Livingstone’s Kashitu Extension Area.

ZAWA Park Ranger, Moses Kaoma said in an interview with ZANIS in Livingstone today that more information would be gathered on the matter to ensure action is taken before human life is lost.

Mr. Kaoma explained that it was possible that crocodiles strayed into Kashitu extension area because of pools of water in that area located near the boundary of the Mosi-O-Tunya National Park.

Some residents of Kashitu Extension today stormed ZANIS offices challenging ZAWA to protect human life by preventing wild animals from straying into residential areas.

The residents claimed that each year, crocodiles stray in their residential area during the rainy season posing a danger to their well being.
