Botswana jumbos rumble into Zambia, destroy crops

Several elephants have entered Zambia through Sesheke, a town that borders with Namibia  and Botswana. The animals are posing a threat to human habitation, Sesheke Member of Parliament (MP) Adonisi Mufarari has said.   

The law-maker appealed to Zambia wildlife authority, a government wildlife agency, to assist by rescuing the people from the marauding elephants and averting hunger among those whose crops were affected.     The CITES conference held recently in Doha, Qatar, from March 13 to 22, rejected requests from Zambia and Tanzania to hold one-off sales of their ivory stockpiles.
