By A Correspondent- Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority officials in Kariba are hunting down an elephant that attacked a local man yesterday.

A Kariba man on Wednesday escaped with injuries after an elephant attacked him.

The incident occurred along Mahombekombe Township’s main road in the Local Board area around 4 am when the elephant dragged him into a nearby thicket.

Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) spokesperson Mr Tinashe Farawo confirmed the incident saying that Zimparks rangers were currently looking for the problem animal.

“Our rangers are on the ground as always trying to account for the problem animal while efforts are underway to teach communities on animal behaviours so that we minimise human-wildlife conflict,” said Mr Farawo.
