The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Land Reform has observed a heavy locust infestation in the Lake Lyambezi belt areas of Muyako to Kapani in the Zambezi Region.

More than 130 hippos at Munambeza Pond near Lake Lyambezi in the Zambezi Region are stranded in the muddy water owing to the persistent drought.

Munambeza is the third of the ponds where hippos are stranded along the Chobe River bordering with Botswana.
