An employee of the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Authority (ZimParks) has been accused of killing three lions whose dismembered carcasses were discovered at Hwange National Park in Matabeleland North on Tuesday of last week.
As reported by <a href="https://www.zimlive.com/zimparks-game-ranger-killed-and-dismembered-hwange-lions-court-hears/">ZimLive</a>, Hali Mabuya, 39, a game ranger stationed at Mtshibi Camp within the park, allegedly shot the lions using a rifle assigned to him.
His arrest came after he attempted to return the firearm to the armoury on October 22, asking a colleague to falsify the dates related to when he had signed for and returned the Point 458 rifle.
Prosecutors allege that Mabuya was involved with a poaching syndicate. He appeared in the Hwange Magistrates Court on Saturday, facing charges of unlawful hunting and unlawful possession of ammunition without a firearm certificate.
Prosecutor Jemesina Makanza said the recovered rifle has been linked to the bullets that killed the lions, and Mabuya was found in possession of 52 live rounds, including 30 for a Point 458 rifle, which ZimParks claims he was never issued.
Mabuya was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody until November 1 by Magistrate Fungai Dzimbiri.
The three lions—two females and one male—were discovered with their paws and heads removed near the Dom Pan waterhole within the vast wildlife sanctuary.
Investigators also observed tyre marks and footprints at the scene, suggesting that the killing and dismembering of the animals involved several people.
ZimParks had offered a reward of US$2,000 for information leading to the identification of the poachers.

An employee from ZimParks, a game ranger, was arrested for killing three lions in Hwange National Park. He used a rifle that was assigned to him. The ranger tried to cover up his actions by asking a colleague to lie about the dates related to the rifle. He is accused of being part of a poaching group. The ranger appeared in court and was found with live rounds of ammunition. The lions were found with their paws and heads removed. ZimParks offered a reward for information on the poachers.

ZimParks Employee Arrested For Poaching Three Lions In Hwange National Park

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) is offering a reward of US$2,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the recent poaching of three lions in Hwange National Park.
On Tuesday, ZimParks rangers discovered the carcasses of the lions at Nyamandlovu Pan, near Hwange Main Camp. The bodies had been mutilated, with their heads and paws removed.
ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo confirmed the reward and said all the information will be treated with strict confidence. He can be contacted at 0772433901 for any leads.
Hwange National Park is known for housing Africa’s “Big Five”—lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes.
However, the global population of wild African lions has seen a drastic decline, with estimates now around 23,000, down from approximately 200,000 at the start of the last century, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
In Zimbabwe, the lion population is estimated to be around 2,000.

ZimParks is offering $2,000 for tips on who killed three lions in Hwange National Park. The lions were found dead and mutilated, with their heads and paws missing. The park is home to many animals, including the "Big Five". Lion populations are decreasing globally, with only about 23,000 left in Africa. In Zimbabwe, there are around 2,000 lions. If you have information, call ZimParks at 0772433901. Let's help protect these majestic animals!

ZimParks Offers US$2 000 Reward For Information On Lion Killings

Three lions were discovered dead in Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe, with their heads and paws removed.
The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZimParks) suspects that the incident is linked to poaching for ritual purposes.
According to ZimParks, the lions were shot on Monday at Nyamandlovu Pan, near Hwange Main Camp, before being beheaded and having their paws cut off.
ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo stated that the lions were killed using a heavy-calibre rifle. Said Farawo:
<blockquote>
We are investigating a suspected case of lions poaching in Hwange, the suspects used a heavy calibre rifle before they chopped the heads and feet of the lions.
</blockquote>
Occasionally in Zimbabwe, lions kill people, often with little public condemnation. In contrast, when humans kill lions, it sparks outrage among conservationists both locally and globally.
In 2015, there was widespread condemnation when Cecil the Lion, one of the country’s most famous big cats, was lured with an elephant carcass and subsequently hunted.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the global population of wild African lions has drastically declined to approximately 23,000, down from around 200,000 at the start of the last century.
In Zimbabwe, the lion population is estimated to be around 2,000.

Three lions in Hwange were found dead without heads and paws. Suspected to be poaching for rituals, lions were shot and mutilated. ZimParks investigate. In Zimbabwe, when lions kill people, it's okay, but if humans kill lions, it's bad. Cecil the Lion was killed in 2015, causing anger. The lion population is decreasing worldwide. The African lion population has gone from 200,000 to 23,000. In Zimbabwe, there are around 2,000 lions. Many are concerned about the conservation of lions.

Three Lions Found With Heads And Paws Removed In suspected Ritual-use Poaching Incident In Hwange

The Zimbabwe Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in collaboration with the Civil Protection Department, has released the evening weather report and forecast for Zimbabwe, valid from Tuesday, November 28, 2023, until Thursday, November 30, 2023.
The morning of this Tuesday was characterised by mostly sunny and mild conditions. However, as the day progressed, it became partly cloudy to cloudy in most parts of the country. Some light thundershowers were experienced in specific provinces, including Matabeleland North, Mashonaland West, and Manicaland.
Moving on to the forecast for Wednesday, November 29, 2023, it is expected to begin with partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning across most parts of the country. However, as the day progresses, cloud developments are anticipated, leading to scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. These thunderstorms are a result of cloud systems approaching from the northwest.
During this period, the risk of lightning strikes is significantly increased, posing a potential danger to all areas. It is important to note that lightning can strike even when clouds appear distant, a scientific phenomenon known as lightning from the blue. The atmosphere is also conducive to localized hailstorms and strong winds.
To ensure personal safety, there are several actions that individuals should take. If caught outdoors during a thunderstorm, it is advised to avoid seeking shelter under isolated trees or in isolated sheds, as these can act as natural lightning conductors. Instead, it is recommended to seek shelter inside a home or a large building. Even if lightning is observed in the distance, it may not be safe to remain outdoors. The 30-30 Rule serves as a rough guideline to assess safety: if lightning is seen and there are less than 30 seconds between the flash and the sound of thunder, it indicates that the individual is not safe from the next lightning strike. Furthermore, where possible, installing lightning conductors on buildings can provide additional protection.
The forecast also includes specific weather outlooks for various regions. For the main city centres such as Bulawayo, Kwekwe, Kadoma, Masvingo, Marondera, and Gwanda, the weather forecast remains consistent with the general pattern of partly cloudy and mild conditions in the morning, followed by scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Similarly, in popular holiday resorts like Victoria Falls, Kariba, Great Zimbabwe, Nyanga, Matopos, Chimanimani, Chinhoyi Caves, Binga Hot Springs, and Hwange National Park, visitors should expect the same weather conditions.
Looking ahead to Thursday, November 30, 2023, the weather outlook suggests that northern parts of the country, including northern Manicaland, all Mashonaland, Harare or Metropolitan, Matabeleland North, and northern parts of Midlands provinces, may experience scattered afternoon thunderstorms. In some places, these thunderstorms may result in isolated heavy rainfall exceeding 30mm. On the other hand, the southern parts of the country, including Bulawayo Metropolitan, Matabeleland South, Masvingo, southern parts of Midlands, and southern parts of Manicaland, are expected to encounter cloudy, cool, and drizzly conditions in the morning. Throughout the day, the cloud cover is expected to decrease, leading to warmer temperatures in the afternoon.

Zimbabwe Weather Report And Forecast Valid From 28-30 November, 2023

The Meteorological Services Department, together with the Department of Civil Protection, predicts cloudy weather across most of Zimbabwe this week.
In a weather report and forecast issued on Monday 23 October 2023, the MSD said thundershowers were widespread, especially in the eastern and central regions, with the highest recorded precipitation in Masvingo, Zvishavane, and Mhondoro. Bulawayo also experienced rainfall. Certain areas, including Matabeleland South, Bulawayo Metropolitan, Masvingo, and Manicaland provinces, saw cloudy, windy, and cold conditions due to rising pressure in the south.
Tomorrow, cloudy conditions with periodic thundershowers are expected in Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland, while the rest of the country should be partly cloudy and cool in the morning, becoming warmer later in the day. Thunderstorms may bring wind gusts and lightning, making roads slippery and reducing visibility. It is important to drive carefully and find safe shelter during thunderstorms and avoid crossing flooded rivers. Additionally, as the rainy season begins, it is advisable to protect oneself from mosquitoes, which multiply during this time.
On Wednesday, cloudiness is expected to decrease across the country, resulting in mostly sunny conditions. However, isolated thunderstorms may occur in Matabeleland North, northern parts of Midlands, Mashonaland provinces, Harare metropolitan, and Manicaland provinces.

MSD Predicts Cloudy Weather Across Most Of Zimbabwe To Continue

The Meteorological Services Department (MSD) and the Civil Protection Department in Zimbabwe have announced that there will be significant rainfall in certain parts of the country this week. According to the weather report issued on Tuesday, the rest of the country will be partly cloudy and warm, with the Zambezi valley experiencing hot temperatures in the afternoon.
The MSD reported that on Tuesday, there were widespread thunderstorms across the country, with heavier rainfall in the eastern half. The highest recorded rainfall was 133mm in Harare Southerton, followed by Kwekwe and Chinhoyi with 85mm each. Other areas also experienced rainfall exceeding 30mm. These thunderstorms were accompanied by strong winds and hail in some places.
For Wednesday, it is expected that the rain system will move eastward and decrease in intensity. Significant rainfall is anticipated in Mashonaland Central, Harare metropolitan, Mashonaland East, and Manicaland provinces. The rest of the country will be partly cloudy and warm, with the Zambezi valley experiencing hot temperatures in the afternoon.
The impacts of these weather conditions include the possibility of thunderstorms with gusty winds and lightning. It is important to stay hydrated and protect oneself from the heat, especially during hot daytime conditions. Precautions such as wearing a sunhat or carrying an umbrella are recommended when outdoors. Starting veld fires should be avoided, and proper irrigation of crops and hydration of animals is advised to reduce heat stress. When thunder is heard, it is important to seek appropriate shelter nearby.
The weather outlook for Thursday indicates that most of the country will become mostly sunny and warm. However, isolated afternoon thunderstorms can still be expected in Manicaland, Mashonaland East, and Harare metropolitan provinces.

MSD: Significant Amounts Of Rainfall Expected In Some Parts Of Zimbabwe

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_National_Parks_and_Wildlife_Authority/">Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZIMPARKS)</a> has said a significant number of elephants from Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe, are migrating to Botswana in search of water.
The park, spanning over 14,600 square kilometres, is a habitat for approximately 50,000 elephants. This movement of animals from Hwange National Park to Botswana began in August. ZIMPARKS spokesperson, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Tinashe_Farawo/">Tinashe Farawo</a>, told AFP:
<blockquote>
Many animals have and are moving from Hwange National Park into Botswana.
Water bodies have dried up and the animals are in search for water and food.
</blockquote>
He added that buffaloes and “all types of animals present in the park” were also migrating in scores. Farawo said:
<blockquote>
I can’t quantify how many elephants have moved whether its hundreds or thousands but it has been a lot.
The amount of animals migrating has definitely increased over the years due to the increase in water shortages.
</blockquote>
Climate change has caused an early migration of wildlife from Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park to Botswana, according to the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority. This movement, which could result in heightened conflicts between humans and animals, poses challenges as animals encroach upon populated areas in search of water.
Tinashe Farawo expressed concerns about increased competition for water resources. Human-wildlife conflicts are already prevalent in remote parts of Zimbabwe, with elephants alone causing the deaths of at least 60 people last year. Zimbabwe has an elephant population of around 100,000, while Botswana boasts the world’s largest elephant population, estimated at 130,000.

Elephants From Zimbabwe's Hwange National Park Migrating To Botswana Due To Water Scarcity

The Meteorological Services Department, in collaboration with the Department of Civil Protection, has issued the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Evening Weather Report</a> and Forecast, valid until Monday, 17 July 2023 noting a continuation of the cold spell.
The Met Department said on Saturday, 15 July 2023, most parts of the country experienced cloudy, windy, and cold weather in the morning with some drizzle in Manicaland and Mashonaland East provinces. However, <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Mashonaland West</a> and western parts of Mashonaland Central had clear skies, resulting in <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">moderate ground frost</a> in Henderson and slight frost in Karoi. As the day progressed, the clouds lifted and burnt off in some areas, especially in the southern provinces.
On Sunday, 16 July 2023, most parts of the country are expected to have clear skies, although patches of clouds may be seen during the day due to remnant moisture in the atmosphere. This is expected to cause nighttime temperatures to drop significantly, leading to <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">severe ground frost</a> in areas such as Matopos, Nyanga, Marondera, Henderson, and Gweru, while Kadoma, Lupane, Rusape, Mukandi, Chivhu, and Harare are expected to have moderate ground frost. The severe ground frost may affect the health of vulnerable members of society and trigger respiratory-related illnesses in all persons. Plants and animals are also sensitive to overnight temperature declines.
To mitigate the effects of cold weather, people should keep warm and ensure that vulnerable members are dressed appropriately. If there is a need to use a brazier or fire to keep warm, the room should be well-ventilated. Farmers with crops vulnerable to extreme cold should consult their local Agritex Officers for better advice on frost mitigation measures. Additionally, people should monitor temperatures within <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">fowl runs</a> and adjust accordingly to reduce the impacts of cold conditions on the bird population.
On Monday, 17 July 2023, a cold night and severe ground frost are expected mainly in areas such as Tsholotsho, Matopos, Henderson, Kadoma, Lupane, Gweru, Marondera, Mukandi, Chivhu, Nyanga, and Harare. However, mostly sunny conditions are expected during the day over the entire country, and temperatures should rise to the mild category.

For Tuesday 06 June 2023, cool, moist, and fresh southeasterly winds are expected to enter the country from the eastern borders, resulting in cloudy conditions in some provinces. <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Matabeleland South</a>, Masvingo, and southern parts of both Midlands and Manicaland should experience cloudiness, which is expected to reduce as the day progresses. The remaining areas should remain mostly sunny with moderate winds.

Zimbabwe Weather Report, Forecast: 4 - 6 March 2023

Fastjet Zimbabwe Thursday said it would be introducing flights to <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kariba">Kariba</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hwange">Hwange</a> in March 2023 as it accelerates a long-cherished plan to completely network Zimbabwe.
The regional carrier currently services the Harare-Bulawayo route, along with the Harare-<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Victoria_Falls">Victoria Falls</a> one, among its key regional and domestic destinations.
The award-winning airline will be flying from Harare and Victoria Falls to Kariba Airport and Hwange National Park Airport.
In a statement seen by Pindula News, Nunurai Ndawana fastjet Zimbabwe spokesperson said:
<blockquote>
We continue to demonstrate our commitment to the growth of tourism and the sustainability of air services in the markets we serve. The addition of these leisure destinations will greatly support our vision.
The Embraer E120 is a robust turboprop aircraft designed for domestic operations, offering customers a pressurised cabin with spacious legroom and overhead baggage space. We intend to align our timings to schedule our flights in such a way that we offer customers the flexibility and convenience of multiple frequencies per day.
</blockquote>
Vivian Ruwuya, fastjet Zimbabwe’s Chief Commercial Officer said the introduction of flights to Kariba and Hwange allows visitors in Victoria Falls to explore the wonders of Zimbabwe further by visiting both Hwange National Park and the lake in Kariba. Ruwuya said:
<blockquote>
Working closely with our industry stakeholders and partners, including Airports Company of Zimbabwe and the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe, we continue to explore ways to further develop the domestic Zimbabwean flight network. We are delighted to announce that our new flights to Hwange and Kariba from our tourism hub of Victoria Falls and our Harare base, will be supported with onward connections on Mack Air / South West Aviation into the Hwange National Park, the lodges of the Kariba eastern basin and the camps and operations in Mana Pools and the lower Zambezi. Mack Air with South West Aviation will be developing a new hub at Kariba, along with their existing hubs in Victoria Falls and Harare to support these seamless connections to and from fastjet’s services.
</blockquote>
Kariba and Hwange will add to fastjet’s domestic destinations of Harare, Bulawayo, and Victoria Falls, as well as provide straightforward connectivity for international customers flying in from Johannesburg via Victoria Falls to and from Kariba.
The new flights will be available for booking via the fastjet website, App and usual online trade portals in the coming days.
Kariba town, which sits on the east end of the 300km-long Lake Kariba, has been underserved with scheduled flights for many years.
In 2014, Air Zimbabwe returned to the route after abandoning it in 1996 but pulled out within a year.
Early this year, another airline entered the route, but it has since pulled out.
Hwange, another of Zimbabwe’s key tourist destinations, relies mostly on passengers arriving at the nearby Victoria Falls International Airport.
In July, fastjet also introduced flights between Zimbabwe and Botswana to boost tourism in both countries.
This followed another launch in March of a direct flight between Victoria Falls and Mpumalanga in South Africa.

Fastjet Zimbabwe Announce Additional Flights To Hwange And Kariba

International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW)  has donated 2 land cruisers valued at $85 000 each to be used by Zimbabwe Wildlife and National Parks (ZimParks) rangers to patrol areas around Hwange National Park, The Sunday News reports.
speaking about the 2 land cruisers that reportedly come with a service kit for one year together with a set of four extra wheels, IFAW Programmes Director for landscape Mr. Philip Kuvawoga said:
<blockquote>Zimparks and IFAW signed a memorandum of agreement for conservation support focusing on Hwange and Zambezi National Parks in terms of law enforcement, infrastructure development, and capacity building of front-line staff in order for them to be able to address poaching pressures in the parks.
We started in the Makona sub-sector. The vehicles we provided to Zimparks are part of efforts to ensure that they have reliable off-road vehicles to enhance the mobility of their patrolling teams. But it’s an assortment of capital assets that we think can enhance the capacity of the authority to manage Hwange National Park.</blockquote>
ZimParks through its Spokesperson Tinashe Farawo thanked IFAW and said the donation will also boost the morale of the rangers:
<blockquote>We appreciate the donation of the vehicles as they will improve law enforcement and patrols and rangers need to be mobile as they can cover more ground. It will also assist us in addressing issues of problem animals in the parks. The housing also improves the standard of living for our officers and that in turn boosts their morale when they are at work</blockquote>
ZimParks has repeatedly said <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/04/14/zimbabwe-mulling-introducing-birth-control-pills-for-elephants/">elephant overpopulation</a> is among other things some of the problems they are battling.

IFAW Donates 2 Land Cruisers To ZimParks

ZimParks has defended selling elephants, a move that made international headlines a few days ago, saying there was elephant overpopulation at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hwange_National_Park">Hwange National Park</a> and it was now a nightmare to get water and food for all of them the Chronicle reports.
Zimparks spokesperson Mr Farawo said they had to sell the elephants because they can’t cope with the numbers:
<blockquote>We have people who claim to love the elephants so much, yet do less to ensure that those elephants get the best quality of life. They are now overpopulated and sharing scarce resources in their habitat, which is also not good. They are now migrating to communal areas in search of food and water which has spiked human-wildlife contact in areas near national parks, leading to a rise in numbers of people killed by the jumbos. The sale of elephants is necessary as we are not coping well with the huge numbers.</blockquote>
<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/32-elephant-calves-flown-out-of-zimbabwe-report/">32 baby elephants were loaded on a cargo plane last week reportedly headed for Chinese zoos</a> even though it was not made public where the elephants were going.

The Sale Of Elephants Is Necessary - ZimParks Defends Selling Elephants

The country’s largest national park, Hwange National Park has lamented the elephant overpopulation problem that has resulted in them incurring heavy costs to ensure that the jumbos get water and survive.
Zimparks Spokesperson Mr Tinashe Farawo speaking to the Chronicle had this to say about the situation:
<blockquote>Ideally, Hwange National Park should have a maximum of about 5000 elephants. However, we have more than 50 000 elephants in the park now. They are competing with other animals for scarce resources. Most of our wild animals are in Region 5 which does not receive much rains. We are currently sinking boreholes as deep as 400 metres to try to get to the water table and this is costly and we are battling to cope.</blockquote>
Over the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/09/115-elephants-die-at-hwange-national-park-due-to-drought-report/">past few weeks 115 elephants</a> have died due to the prevailing drought according to the Chronicle.

Hwange National Park Laments Elephant Overpopulation - Report

A total of 115 elephants have died at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hwange_National_Park">Hwange National park</a> due to the prevailing drought the Chronicle reports. This was revealed by Zim Parks spokesperson who said elephants needed a lot of water and they were trying to provide for them but it is a costly process.
<blockquote>A single elephant needs about 600 to 650 litres of water to drink and an average of 400 kilogrammes of food daily. We are experiencing the worst drought since 1981 and there is no more food for them in the park, and water can be scarce. This is one of the things that is escalating human-wildlife conflict as animals are now moving to communal areas in search of food.</blockquote>
Hwange is the biggest National Park in the country. Heavy rains have however been predicted in most parts of the country and they are expected to end the drought

115 Elephants Die At Hwange National Park Due To The Prevailing Drought - Report

The drought being experienced in the country has lead to the death of 55 elephants in the last 2 months at <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Hwange_National_Park">Hwange National Park</a> the Chronicle reports.
This was revealed by ZimParks spokesperson Tinashe Farawo who was <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/10/21/elephants-attack-and-kill-a-man-in-hwange-report/">speaking after a Hwange villager</a> was attacked and killed by elephants last week.
Said Mr Farawo:
<blockquote>Since two months ago 55 elephants, excluding other species, have died in Hwange National Park alone due to starvation as there is no water and food. Animals are travelling long distances looking for water and are dying within 50 metres of water sources. Initially we suspected that it was anthrax or poisoning but investigations showed that they are dying because of drought</blockquote>
It is believed the drought is now causing wild animals to invade human territories in search of food and water. The drought being experienced due to erratic rains during the 2018/2019 rain season has left the government importing maize to feed the nation.

He said ZimParks had reported the matter to police and the Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe (CAAZ).
