A 31 year old woman of Nkumbi area in Mkushi district has been attacked by a crocodile as she washing clothes along on the banks of the Lunsemfwa River.
a week ago, an elephant killed a 21 year old man of Likumbi village in Mkushi district.
Mkushi District Hospital Doctor Cain Simachenya confirmed the incidence to ZANIS during an interview this morning.
Dr. Simachenya said the incidence which left the woman’s right hand crushed happened on Saturday around 18:00 hours.
He said according to the report, Seliyana Nyansulu was washing her clothes on the banks of Lunsemfwa River when a vicious reptile emerged from the river and took hold of her hand.
He said after a lot of screaming, a 14 year old boy rescued the woman by hitting the crocodile with a hoe.
Dr. Simachenya said the women’s hand was amputated after an operation.
He said Ms. Nyansulu ‘s condition was stable.
And Mkushi District Commissioner, DC, Mwila Kunda has appealed to the people in the area to be careful in their movements and avoid moving in dangerous places during late hours.
Mr. Kunda explained that during late hours that animals were too vicious
He said his office has continued to receive reports of elephants causing havoc in the area .
He said it was important for people to move in the company of others so that they can assist one another in the face of calamity.
He has appealed to Zambia Wildlife Authority, ZAWA, to do everything possible to get rid of the animals.
He expressed fear that more lives would be lost if the issue is ignored
Mr. Kunda also warned the people in the area to avoid deforestation and poaching saying such activities leads to animal displacement

ok i think LT is seriously repeating things
……unless if these same croc feast going on in Zed
Zawa should auction all the crocodiles, including their eggs!! They are becoming a danger to society!
These Croc attacks are too much. Can this be connected to the global economic crunch?
BABY C….I could swear I saw a clown on one of LT’s posts (hope you know what i mean)
very funny Jamaco
The hunter is now the hunted .Get well soon and many , many thanx to the 14 year old boy and his hoe.
Hahaha ati auction them with their eggs. Very crazy lol
#3 Baby C,Zawa cnt auction the crocodiles and elephant,these animals are used by witchcraft so u may never know wether the attacks are natural or artificial…
14yr old boy was brave,if it were me just the site of the crocodiles tail i wud have collapsed. Such boys r needed in society,compensate him for risking his life to rescue the helpless woman
There’s tons of hungry crocodiles lurking in Zambian rivers and yet these women choose to do their “laundry” by the banks, of all places! Whoever has seen this reptile can judge by the size of it, all attempts to escape are futile. Damn!
Ba 9 Chale ; Some of these crocs human crocs ,always pouncing on women .
BUT WHY ARE THESE CROCS AFRIEND OF MEN WHO EVEN GO TO FISH? INSTEAD THEY ARE JUST ATTACKING WOMEN? NO WAYS VIVA I THINK I AGREE WITH BABY C TO AUCTION ALL THE CROCS AT A GIVE AWAY PRICE
there is need for improved water sources for all .
Ka’doyo, Champita weee! hello….
dont forget only 41% of the zedians has access to clean water, that means those who’s only means to getting water from rivers and streams risks being eaten alive while everyone else makes jokes about that. Before doing laundry ,cooking, bathing etc… one has to get past the crocs first to get to the water. Third world indeed.
…..wi sakamana BABY C 15. Otherwise ba LT tiba nchokocha pa site
Dr Bill, i get your point! i think the male croc’s are the major culprits! why is that they are only attacking women?
……maybe their female crocs are on recession BABY C and global worming has coursed the male crocs to turn on female humans. Ala kanshi niyi zanda
Number 18 baby C
It may be that women flesh is more tasty than that of men. I which a croc could explain. Or these women wear Chitenges with RB’s head on them and so the crocs think it RB or Sata LOL
Ka’doyo and Jamaco….. muleufwa pliz! Ma!
According to statistics there are more women than men on earth, so Crocs may just be trying to bring the equilibrium.
I think a good number of you people on this thread a crazy lol
I like the humour!!
I have written to abena Spielberg inviting them to come and make a film about the man (or rather woman) eating crocodiles in Zambia, ati they want some local actors you can apply or nominate somebody, me I have nominated somebody called Dollar becoz she is a very good actress, in fact one of our best local actresses!
You cant realy blame th crncs on this one,how do you wash clothes by the river bank at 18hrs?The crocs need privacy at night too!
So it’s another croc story.i thought ba LT had gone banana’s and were repeating yesterdays story iya ku chirundu.so it’s a vicious cycle where as we dont give chance ku ngombe or akapombo even us humans are buffet to othe creatures.
#22 Jamaco please! ala! the
L.T. These crocs are really making me scared to go to Zambia any time soon. What is going on??They will finish chewing all the people going to rivers. Rivers are the only source for water for these people ka!
