Fish poachers fight for sheer survival at Lake Chivero

FORMER world number one golfer Tiger Woods once said fishing is something he “thoroughly enjoys because it’s so relaxing, quiet and peaceful”.

To him, there is no human noise other than nature, so different from what he hears on the golf course during a tournament.

This was not so for Alpha Rujara (21) who was shot dead by a Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks)game scout while illegally harvesting fish at Lake Chivero last weekend.
