*Victoria Falls Mayor Wants City Fenced Off To Keep Elephants Away* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?le Victoria Falls mayor Somvelo Dlamini has appealed to the Government and the Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife Management (Zimparks) to assist the local authority to erect a perimeter fence around the resort city to keep dangerous animals away. This comes after a man from Mkhosana high-density suburb and another man from the Mfelandawonye area were trampled to death by elephants in one week. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Dlamini told VicFallsLive that although Zimparks quickly responded by putting down the two elephants, killing the jumbos was not enough. Said Dlamini: > We have lost quite a number of people in this town to these human-wildlife conflicts, but I think it’s not warranted to keep losing souls. > We understand that we are in close proximity to wild animals as we are bordering national parks areas, but I believe that there must be control measures put in place so that we don’t keep experiencing these losses. > We used to have a perimeter fence just outside town that used to protect people from these wild animals, but it was vandalised. > I believe with the government working with parks and local authorities, the fence can be put back so that we avoid stray elephants and buffalos getting into residential areas. > I think this should be a quick and long-lasting solution as (the killing of people by elephants) has left many children broken and fatherless. *More: VicFallsLive* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
