Lake Kariba Tragedy: Overloaded Zimbabwe Ferry Capsizes, Toll Hits 44
An overloaded ferry on Zimbabwe's Lake Kariba capsized near Long Island after rough seas, with at least 114 adults and five crew aboard (the vessel capacity is 90). The death toll rose to 44, about 77 were rescued, and a multi‑agency search is underway as President Mnangagwa declared a state of disaster; weather is hampering rescue efforts and the total number of children aboard remains unclear.
