Stray hyenas wreak havoc

Villagers here are having sleepless nights due to stray hyenas which are attacking and killing their livestock. Local councillor Thulani Moyo confirmed that villagers were losing Cattle, their only source of wealth, to marauding hyenas.

He said they reported the matter to Parks and Wildlife Management but had not received a response.

“As you know cattle is our source of wealth and we can`t afford to lose any more,” said the councillor.

Police in Gwanda confirmed receiving reports of stray hyenas from villagers but have referred the matter to Parks and Wildlife Management.

“Animal control is not within our jurisdiction. Parks must act to assist the desperate villagers,” said a police officer who declined to be named.
