CROCODILE ATTACKS BOY IN LIVINGSTONE THE Zambia Wildlife Authority (ZAWA) is saddened at the death of a nine year old boy of Simoonga village in Livingstone, who has been caught and killed by a crocodile near Kalisowe farm, along the Zambezi river. The boy, identified as Mumbwata Melford was caught by the predator yesterday around 15hours. According to information gathered by ZAWA, the boy is believed to have been on a hunting expedition and was in the company of four other people and three dogs. The group had ventured along the Zambezi river, which is 4.1kilmeteres away from their village where the incident happened. Upon receiving the information, ZAWA Officers were dispatched to the area immediately and assisted in retrieving the body and taking it to the mortuary. ZAWA is appealing to parents not to allow children near water as crocodiles have now moved from Zambezi up shallow rivers. Mwila Readith Muliyunda Communications & Public Relations Officer
