A major search-and-rescue operation was under way on Tuesday after a passenger ferry overturned on Lake Kariba, with police confirming that 90 people and five crew members were aboard the vessel. “The ZRP reports that a DDF boat with 90 people and five crew members has capsized in Lake Kariba. The Herald reported that more than 90 people were feared dead, while also acknowledging that the exact number of casualties had not been confirmed. The available evidence therefore points to a disaster of potentially serious scale, but not to a confirmed toll of 90 dead. The witness told the newspaper:“There were 90 paid passengers, but anybody over 16 doesn’t pay, so [we] assumed 154 on board.
