The Zambia Air Force and the Game Rangers International have joined the Department of National Parks and Wildlife in searching for the stray lions that are on the loose in Kafue District.
Ministry of Tourism Permanent Secretary Evans Muhanga says the Lions have been illusive and his Ministry is concerned with the security risk they pause to human life.
Mr. Muhanga says grass provides a lot of cover for the lions to hide, hence the introduction of the ZAF helicopter to push them out and for the veterinary doctors to dart them so that they are translocated to the Lower Zambezi where they are suspected to have come from.
The Lions have been on the loose in Kafue District around an area called Ngwenya and are believed to have ravaged livestock in farms between Chilanga and Kafue Districts.
