Stay Lion Terrorize Zambezi West Bank, Killing 16 Cows

A pair of stray lions, believed to have escaped from Kafue National Park, has sparked fear and chaos in Zambezi West Bank. Over the past two weeks, the lions have killed 16 cows, prompting authorities to consider closing schools to ensure student safety.

Yesterday, the lions attacked an oxcart carrying a patient to Zambezi District Hospital, killing three cows. This incident brings the total number of cow killings to 16, with six on the east bank and ten on the west bank.

Zambezi District Commissioner Simeon Machayi has expressed grave concern, announcing that some schools on the West Bank will be closed as a precautionary measure. Officers from the Department of Parks and Wildlife have been dispatched to hunt the lions, but their efforts are being hampered by a lack of transportation.

While no human lives have been lost, the situation remains dangerous. Machayi has urged the public to remain vigilant and exercise caution, calling on the community to assist in locating the lions to expedite their capture and restore safety to the district.

The ongoing attacks have sparked widespread concern among residents, who fear further attacks on livestock and potential threats to human life. Local authorities are working tirelessly to resolve the crisis and ensure the safety of Zambezi District's inhabitants.
