A new privately owned passenger ferry, the MV Silverstone, was launched on Monday at Lake Harvest Harbour to restore the Kariba-Chalala service on Lake Kariba. The launch follows last month's deadly boat disaster on the lake and provides a renewed transport lifeline for Kariba's rural communities.
Along with the restoration of the service, the operational changes include increased passenger fares. The vessel is owned by Hillary Mang.
