Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A wounded buffalo has been put down by a professional hunter after it gored a game scout and a fish poacher to death at Mteri Dam Wildlife in Chiredzi on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Chris Davies tracked and killed the buffalo with a single shot on Tuesday around 3 PM.<\/p>\n

Tongaat Hulett Corporate Affairs and Communications manager Isheanesu Chinhuru confirmed the development in an interview with The Mirror. He said:<\/p>\n

The wounded Buffalo which killed a game scout and a poacher on Saturday was tracked down by Davies who is a Chiredzi based professional hunter together with his team.<\/p>\n

He said Davies and his team began tracking the buffalo on Tuesday morning after it had gored Mashava Ian Thuli (33) a fish poacher on his left leg around 5 AM.<\/p>\n

Thuli encountered the animal as he ran away from four game scouts who were tracking the wounded beast near Mteri Dam.<\/p>\n

He screamed after the attack and was rushed to Chiredzi District Hospital where he died upon admission.<\/p>\n

Around 1 PM, the scouts came across the buffalo and Patson Tekedesa fired at it and missed.<\/p>\n

The buffalo charged at Stephen Njanji (62) who was trying to climb up a tree after sensing that possible injury or death was imminent.<\/p>\n

The buffalo attacked Njani and gored him on the stomach and he died on the spot.<\/p>\n
