Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>TWO fishermen drowned while fishing in Lake Kariba yesterday, NewsDay has established.<\/p>\n

The incident happened between Fothergill and Nyaodza fishing camps.<\/p>\n

The two are believed to have been intoxicated when their boat capsized.<\/p>\n

Search parties have been dispatched, with rangers from the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority joining the team in a bid to recover the bodies of the fishermen.<\/p>\n

Inland and Waters Department Lake captain Adan Nyekete yesterday confirmed the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a terrible situation. These men went out fishing, but from the looks of it, they may have been drunk,\u201d Nyekete said.<\/p>\n

A local fisherman, James Siachikalanga, who operates at Nyaodza Fishing Camp, expressed shock over the tragic incident.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s hard to believe that my fellow fishermen have died. We have been together for years in this industry and they will sadly be missed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

By yesterday, the bodies of the fishermen were still to be retrieved.<\/p>\n
