FRANCISTOWN: Residents of Nkange in the Tutume Sub-District have abandoned their fields and are now living under self-imposed curfews, in fear of stray lions (numbering between five and 10), which have been wrecking havoc in the area.

Mmegi is informed that the Wildlife department has kick-started a clean-up operation, which includes veterinary, wildlife officers and a professional hunter from Charles Hill in Kgalagadi in order to capture the lions, which could number over 10.

Nkange village chief, Kgosi Toteng Nzonga said the lions descended on the area mid-July and began preying on domestic animals, triggering fear among local villagers. Since that time, he said, the five lions, which comprise a male lion, a lioness and three cubs, had already killed 25 cows, 17 goats and six donkeys.
