NewzTwo residents of Kariba have filed an urgent application at the High Court in Zimbabwe, seeking a legal order to compel the government to provide adequate, safe, and reliable ferry services on Lake Kariba. The legal action comes in the wake of the Mbuya Nehanda ferry disaster, an incident that occurred weeks prior and resulted in the loss of 97 lives.
The lawsuit directly challenges the government over the ongoing ferry crisis in the region, focusing on public safety and transportation infrastructure on the lake. By pursuing a court order, the applicants aim to force state intervention to prevent further tragedies and secure dependable water transport for the community following the mass casualty event.
