Tourists fail to access Mana Pools

MANA Pools heritage site is likely to lose millions of dollars as tourists cannot access it following the destruction of bridges linking the area last week.

Two bridges — Marongora and Runese bridges in Chirundu — that lead to the tourist site were swept away by heavy rains, making the resort inaccessible. African Wildlife Foundation country director Olivia Mufute last Friday told NewsDay that the destruction of the bridges was a huge loss for the wildlife conservation sector.
