The body of a villager from Nongozi was retrieved from a swamp in the Nkasa-Rupara National Park in the Zambezi Region on Tuesday. 

The 29-year-old  Samupwa Lubinda's body was already in a state of early decomposition when it was retrieved. 

According to a police report, Lubinda drowned during a fishing excursion with two other men in the park on Sunday.

It is alleged that when they were busy removing fish from the nets, they saw anti-poaching officials and jumped into the water.

The district of Nongozi in the Zambezi Region held its first-ever cultural expo aimed at stimulating business activities and encouraging intra-community.

Launching the expo, the Minister of Industrialisation and Trade, Lucia Ipumbu, commended the Mayeyi Traditional Authority and the Nongozi sub-khuta for the initiative.

Ipumbu said the expo would be beneficial for the community in terms of embracing and showcasing their culture and tradition, as well as attracting interest from various investors.
