Crocodile attack in the
Gache Gache river:
‘’We are
sorry to report a tragic accident in the Gache Gache River today. A man was
taken by a crocodile. We have a professional team out there right now looking
for the croc and hoping to recover the body. Sincere condolences to his wife at
this sad time, she was with him on the yacht, when he was taken. She and her
friends are now at the lodge where they are being taken care of. Please let
this be a serious wake up call to everyone who goes to Kariba.’’
And later on
:
‘’There are
various reports on the internet and facebook stating that the croc attack was
AT Gache Gache Lodge. This is incorrect and I have contacted most and asked
them to correct this. The attack was in the Gache Gache River diagonally across
from the lodge quite a way down river. We were only too happy to take the
unfortunate people in for the night and help them through their awful ordeal
and do whatever we could to assist, as anyone would.’’
‘’We wish
Jenny and the family peace and healing after their trauma. Please respect the
family's privacy at this time.’’
The Turbo
Glass team send out our heartfelt condolences and prayers to all involved
during these hard times.
