Zimbabwe Parks Authority (ZimParks) spokesperson, Tinashe Farawo confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very unfortunate that a 4-year-old child was killed by a crocodile in Kariba late afternoon on Saturday while her sister escaped with serious injuries,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Farawo added the residents managed to kill the reptile before the arrival of ZimParks rangers. They also managed to retrieve the now deceased\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate it is another life lost in such circumstances. We are encouraging communities to treat every water body with caution, especially during this rainy season (when wild animals stray from their natural habitats).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
