Chief Chapoto of Kanyemba said the area is no longer safe as the stray beasts are threatening human and live stock lives. "One person was killed on Tuesday and two more were devoured in the early hours of Friday. The situation here is not safe and we are worried that if authorities fail to react quickly the entire community is going to be destroyed. The animals are so vicious and hungry. We call upon National Parks to intervene," said Chief Chapoto. Councilor for Kanyemba ward 1, Mr Kirisimas said school children were in danger of the stray lions. "We have since stopped pupils from going to school till the lions are removed from the area. Our domestic animals are also in danger and we do not know what to do," he said. Kanyemba area is near the Zambezi River that boarders Zimbabwe and Zambia and the area is infested with wild animals. Efforts to get a comment on what measures have been put in place by National Parks and Wild Life Authority were fruitless as the organisation's Public Relations Manager Caroline Washaya-Moyo was not available at the time of filing this report.
