FOUR people are still missing after a boat capsized on Lake Kariba on Saturday.

ZimParks spokesperson, Mr Tinashe Farawo, said search and rescue efforts were underway, although the four were feared dead.

“We have a sad incident of a boat that capsized Saturday on Lake Kariba. One of the five occupants was rescued by fishermen with the other four are still missing. Search and rescue efforts are currently underway with a team of divers conducting the exercise.”

The survivor was found clinging to an empty container by fishermen and there were no further details as to what could have caused the accident.

But, some fishermen in the area claimed there was a huge wave that could have led to the accident.

In July 2021, five people lost their lives when their boat also capsized on the same lake.
