Thirsty elephants trouble Sekakangwe villagers

Modibedi Mogapi, a 24-year-old farmer said the elephants always give them trouble during the dry season. "It's not a problem during the rainy season when there is ample water, but immediately the dry season starts, when we do not have sufficient water in our small dam that's when they come and start drinking the little water reserved for our livestock," Mogapi said.

He said that after the elephants have walked around the dam, it gets so muddy that the livestock get stuck and die in the mud.
