A ferry capsized on Lake Kariba, located on the Zimbabwe-Zambia border, on Tuesday due to overcrowding and strong winds [1]. As of Saturday, rescue teams have retrieved a total of 68 bodies, including 18 children, with 22 additional bodies discovered during the latest recovery operations [1].

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Muchechesi stated, "So far today we have managed to take 22 bodies. We are confident that we will manage to retrieve all the bodies" [1].
