Ferry Disaster on Lake Kariba: A Repeating Pattern of Neglect and Tragedy The capsizing of an overcrowded ferry on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe has left at least 15 people dead and 27 missing, with many questions still unanswered about the circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
The incident is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by the lake's unpredictable waters and the continued neglect of safety protocols by authorities.
The ferry had a capacity of 90 people but was carrying 114 adult passengers, five crew members, and an unknown number of children when it overturned on Tuesday.
