Africa-Press – Namibia. The leader of the Popular Democratic Movement, McHenry Venaani, on Thursday paid a visit to the family of the late Elen Mashora Disho, a 14-year-old girl who was attacked and killed by a crocodile on Monday at Thikanduko village in Mukwe constituency.
Venaani, on his Facebook page during his official visit to green schemes in the Kavango east region, said the parents of the deceased are deeply touched by the ordeal and were taken by surprise at his courtesy call in which he made a contribution towards the funeral costs.
“Sad that our communities are falling prey to these attacks due to a lack of portable water, even the school has no water for a whole month. Over 29 lives have been lost due to crocodile attacks in two years, the last four in January 2022,” said Venaani.
Disho was a pupil at Thikanduko Primary School. She was attacked and killed by the crocodile when she and her school mates went to the Kavango river to fetch water. Her body was recovered the next day.
