A boat carrying 95 people by police count — 90 passengers and five crew — capsized on Zimbabwe's Lake Kariba on Tuesday during bad weather, according to a witness who spoke to AFP, with rescue operations ongoing. Zimbabwe's Civil Protection Unit told the AP that registered ticket sales actually showed 114 adults aboard, with an unknown additional number of children too young to require tickets.
Local MP Mutsa Murombedzi posted video she said showed the boat departing and said residents rely on it for the roughly five-hour crossing to Kariba town, demanding officials 'release the correct number of people who were onboard.' Police said figures on deaths and rescues would come 'in due course.'
