Fisherman Survives Boat Accident On Lake Kariba, Colleague’s Fate Unknown

A fisherman from Kariba’s Nyamhunga Phase 3, Aleck Pembere, 24, cheated death by a whisker when his boat capsized on Lake Kariba Tuesday night, but his colleague, Isaac Parichi, was not so fortunate.

Pembere described his escape as a “miracle” after he found himself clinging to a refrigerator that had fallen off the vessel.

For a terrifying 45 minutes, the appliance was his only lifeline until fellow fishermen spotted him from a distance and rushed to his rescue.

Tragically, Pembere’s colleague, Parichi, was not so lucky, and his fate remains unknown. Said Pembere:

We were communicating with my friend Isaac Parichi for the first five minutes after the accident, trying to seek help, but he eventually disappeared.

Pembere and Parichi were traveling from ARDA-Gache Gache Fishing Camp to Kariba Urban when a tidal wave struck their boat.

The boat was carrying a cargo of two refrigerators, small containers, life jackets, and paddles.

A fisherman who declined to be named urged authorities to provide patrol boats for rescue services to prevent such tragedies in the future. He said:

We need patrol boats to monitor the lake and ensure that boats are adhering to safety regulations. This would help prevent accidents and save lives.

The search for Parichi resumed on Wednesday, but unfortunately, the efforts yielded no results.

As the hours tick by, hopes of finding him alive are fading. Despite this, the search was expected to continue on Thursday.

True zambezi fishermen know the problem of wearing a life jacket, ......not comfortable when rowing and you are spotted faster by a crocodile coz of its reflection.

Safety measures are always neglected areas in this case.Safety patrol officers should be dispatched patrol the lake and enforce safety measures and heavely fine defaulters.

Fishermen should know how to swim...Why travel in a small boat knowing very well unfortunate events like those can occur at any time when you cant swim..Swimming skills are thus very important in such cases
