The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZIMPARKS) has
reported that a man was killed by an elephant in Victoria Falls last night.

ZIMPARKS spokesperson, Tinashe Farawo, made the announcement this Saturday
encouraging members of the public to minimise movements during the night.
He said:

It is with great sadness that a man was killed by an elephant in Vic Falls
last night. So far 35 people have been killed in Human-Wildlife Conflict
(HWC) across the country. ZIMPARKS encourages communities to minimize
movements at night, do not provoke them, and give them space.

35 people have been killed in HWC this year while more than 60 people were
killed last year.

Early this week, two elephants that had been found loitering in Chiteni
Village under Chief Ndanga, Zaka, were shot and killed by the Zimparks
after villagers reported the matter to the police. The meat was given to
the villagers, according to Information Secretary, Nick Mangwana.

Human Wildlife conflict is a serious challenge in Zimbabwe.
