Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Fifteen people were seriously injured on Sunday when they tried to chase away a herd of eleven elephants in Matsequenha, Namaacha district, Maputo province.<\/p>\n

In addition to attacking farmers, the pachyderms destroy their \u2018machambas\u2019 (smallholding plots) on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Some of those affected told R\u00e1dio Mo\u00e7ambique that elephants frequently pass through their locality, despite the danger they pose to the inhabitants and the impact on agricultural fields.<\/p>\n

They say that famine threatens, as a result of the devastation of crops by the elephants.<\/p>\n

Responding to reports of elephants in Matsequenha, agricultural extensionist Narciso Chichava, who is assigned to the locality, said that specialists had been deployed, but, given the number of elephants, it had not yet been possible to scare them away entirely.<\/p>\n

Os paquidermes, para al\u00e9m de atacar os camponeses, diariamente destroem machambas.<\/b><\/p>\n

Alguns produtores que falaram \u00e0 R\u00e1dio Mo\u00e7ambique, disseram que a circula\u00e7\u00e3o dos elefantes \u00e9 frequente na localidade, n\u00e3o obstante ao perigo que representam para os habitantes e ao impacto sobre os campos agr\u00edcolas.<\/b><\/p>\n

Os camponeses apontam para a entrada da fome na localidade, com a devasta\u00e7\u00e3o das culturas alimentares, por elefantes.<\/b><\/p>\n

No contexto da den\u00fancia da presen\u00e7a dos elefantes em Matsequenha, Narciso Chichava, extensionistas afecto \u00e0 localidade, disse terem sido destacados alguns especialistas, mas porque os paquidermes s\u00e3o muitos, ainda n\u00e3o foi poss\u00edvel afugent\u00e1-los.<\/b><\/p>\n
