PRESIDENT Mnangagwa has arrived in Livingstone, Zambia for the 2024 Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area (Kaza TFCA) Heads of State and Government Summit.
The President has joined other Heads of State who are being hosted by Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, before they make their way to the venue of the conference.
Delegates have started trickling into the venue as they wait for the arrival of the Heads of State for the start of official proceedings.

It has a total of 520,000 kms and about 70 percent of land is under conservation, with 103 wildlife management areas, 85 forest reserves and three world heritage sites.
