Death toll from Zimbabwean boat capsize reaches 80

According to police, some of the bodies recovered earlier in the week have already been released to families for burial both within the Lake Kariba area and across the country.

The boat was traveling from Kariba town to the Chalala Fishing Camp when the accident occurred. A total of 77 people were rescued from the lake, authorities said.

As written earlier, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa had declared the accident a national disaster, directing full support for affected families.
