CHRONICLE REPORTER
AN ATTEMPT to drive away a herd of elephants, which had strayed into a homestead cost a man from Binga his life when one of the elephants gored him to death after he had shot and wounded it, police have confirmed.
Matabeleland North police spokesman, Sergeant Augustine Zimbili said , John Mwembe aged 61, died on the spot when an angry bull pierced him from behind his right shoulder to the right of his chest using its tusks. He was from Zingozo village in Simathele area, which is under chief Siyachilaba.
“ The man wanted to chase away a herd of elephants which were in the village. He fired one round in the air using his 303 rifle to scare the animals but they did not go away,”
“Realising that the animals were resisting, he fired the second round and hit one of the bulls on its right shoulder,” said Sgt Zimbili.
The injured bull angrily charged at this man and caught him with its tusks piecing him in the process. He then died on the spot.
The villagers then made a report to the police.
