Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>A Zimbabwean national who survived a crocodile attack in Lake Kariba has been detained by a hospital in Zambia after he failed to settle hospital bills.<\/p>\n

Alexander Chimedza, who had been hospitalised for the past month, was discharged six days ago but cannot leave the hospital until he settles at least US$150 in hospital bills.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with The Herald from Mutenderi Hospital in Zambia, where he was treated for the wounds he sustained during the crocodile attack, Chimedza said:<\/p>\n

My brothers are trying whatever they can do to ensure the money is raised but so far it has been to no avail.<\/p>\n

I am still admitted in the hospital until I raise the required amount.<\/p>\n

Chimedza said those willing to assist should get in touch with Chimedza on +263717921812 and his brother Ngorezha on +263 78 618 5020.<\/p>\n
