Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Villagers in Donsa area, Silobela, are living in fear of crocodiles that have invaded the Gweru River, their source water.<\/p>\n

The reptiles are killing people and livestock since the beginning of the rainy season last year.<\/p>\n

Ward 29 councillor Willard Moyo told Southern Eye on Friday that they are exasperated by Zimparks\u2019 failure to deal with the menacing crocodiles. Said Moyo:<\/p>\n

Gweru River is now a no-go area. The river is our only source of water as efforts to rehabilitate Donsa Dam became politicised and it has no water.<\/p>\n

We do not understand why the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) would allow such dangerous creatures to live among people.<\/p>\n

ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said that people should be careful when approaching water bodies because crocodiles live in water.<\/p>\n

Farawo added that there is a need to raise awareness so that people appreciate animal behaviour.<\/p>\n

If people believe they are being threatened by crocodiles, they should report the animals to Zimparks so that they are eliminated, Farawo said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
