A few days ago, a visitor to the Nyalugwe Open Area, on a number of occasions heard numerous shots being fired across the Luangwa river in the Nyalugwe section of the West Petauke Game Management Area. It is presumed that this is the work of the ZAWA Wildlife Police Officers and the Nyalugwe Community Resource Board village scouts, who, together with other units working within the Nyimba sector, receive unlimited amounts of ammunition from the officer in charge, the notorious Mr Chibeka, who later drives in with a ZAWA vehicle to collect the meat. Peter Nyalugwe has gone to investigate.
And in Luembe, ZAWA and Luembe village scouts caught poaching by me, continue in their posts.
In Rufunsa GMA, south of West Petauke GMA, ten ZAWA Police Officers and village scouts have this year been suspended for poaching.
Zambia's wildlife is being decimated by the very people employed to protect it.
