Jumbos destroy masimo, school fence

Fox said some villagers had complained to him about the weekend incident. The youthful chief said he did not know exactly where the elephants were coming from though there was a possibility they could have strayed into the area from far away places like the Hwange Game Reserve in Zimbabwe, through Matsiloje. One affected resident Morapedi Ntwaagae told Mmegi that the marauding beasts destroyed his family farm.

Ntwaagae disclosed that every year around this time the elephants always destroy their farm fence and crops. Matshelagabedi, situated about 15km east of Francistown, was not the only place frequented by elephants. Five elephants were spotted at Maradu Primary School in Francistown on Friday night.
