Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>At least eight people have died in crocodile attacks this year in the Mozambican province of Manica bordering Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

The authorities are calling for the culling of the reptiles to reduce their population.<\/p>\n

Authorities would soon get a company to collect crocodile eggs in order to reduce population growth, Rafael Manjate, the provincial director for environment said.<\/p>\n

Most of the crocodile attacks occurred along rivers in the districts of Mossurize, Vanduzi and Machaze.<\/p>\n

Mr Manjante said the reptiles were a threat to the lives of people especially those living along river banks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most worrying example is the Vanduzi River, where there are many crocodile families, and it is a priority right now to look for a way to reduce them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The official also cited attacks by lions and elephants.<\/p>\n

He called for help from the national government, saying the province did not have enough capacity to resolve human-wildlife conflicts.<\/p>\n

Attacks by wild animals are common in rural areas, with flooding in recent months raising the risks of crocodile attacks along river banks.<\/p>\n
