A 19-year-old man has drowned on Lake Kariba in Siavonga District of Southern Province.
Siavonga District Commissioner Livermore Kanyama has identified the deceased as Junior Kalela of kambiobio village in Chief Simamba’s chiefdom in Siavonga district.
Mr. Kanyama has told QFM that Kalela met his fate around 09:00 hours on Mondays when the canoe he was using for fishing capsized due to heavy waves on the lake.
He says the body of the deceased has not yet been recovered and the search for the body by a combined team of state police and local villagers is continuing.
And Mr. Kanyama has expressed concern over the number of fishermen that have continued to die on Lake Kariba.
He has since advised fishermen and individuals using the lake for transport to be mindful of the waves on the lake.
