Zambians jailed for fish poaching

Four Zambians who entered Zimbabwe through an illegal entry point and poached fish have been slapped with a six-month jail term each.

The four pleaded guilty to illegal entry and fish poaching when they appeared before Binga magistrate Stephen Ndlovu on Monday.

The court heard that on March 29, Sarah Mulopa (60), Getrude Njovu (50), Johanah Moyo (47) and Innocent Tembo (33) crossed the Zambezi River into Zimbabwe from Zambia through the Sinangwenda Fishing Camp area in contravention of immigration laws.
