Ikhaya limalunga neemitha ezingama-2022 ukusuka eLake Edward. Esi sisiganeko sokuqala esinjalo apho imvubu yabhadula ngaphandle kweLake Edward yaza yahlasela umntwana omncinci.
Ngokwengxelo yamapolisa, kuthathe ubugorha bomnye uChrispas Bagonza, obekufutshane, ukusindisa ixhoba emva kokuba elixulube ngamatye imvubu yaloyikisa, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba ikhulule ixhoba emlonyeni. Ixhoba liye labalekiselwa ngoko nangoko kwikliniki ekufutshane ukuze lifumane unyango, ngenxa yomonzakalo esandleni laze kamva ladluliselwa kwisibhedlele saseBwera ukuze lifumane unyango olungaphezulu.

Ngokwethuku, izilwanyana zasendle zibabona abantu njengesoyikiso kwaye naluphi na unxibelelwano lunokubangela ukuba benze izinto ezingaqhelekanga okanye ezinobundlongondlongo. Sifuna ukukhumbuza bonke abahlali beBhunga leDolophu yaseKatwe-Kabatooro, ekwiQueen Elizabeth National Park, ukuba bahlale bephaphile kwaye basoloko bebalumkisa abagcini be-UWA, malunga nezilwanyana eziye zabhadula kwiindawo abahlala kuzo.”

Sinazo kwaye sisaqhubeka nokucebisa uluntu ukuba luzikhwebule kwizilwanyana kwaye lulumke ngakumbi ebusuku. Enye ikhuselekile ngokuhlala ezindlini ebusuku ingakumbi uluntu olusebumelwaneni iindawo ezikhuselweyo kunye nemithombo yamanzi.”
Ungenelelo ngoncedo lweNgxwabangxwaba yeZilwanyana zaseNdle zaBantu
Ngokutsho koMlawuli oPhetheyo, i-UWA iye yagrumba kule minyaka ingaphezu kwe-500 km yemisele ecaleni kwemida ekhethiweyo yepaki equka uQueen Elizabeth, Kibale, kunye neMurchison Falls National Parks Ukuze kuncitshiswe kwaye kuncitshiswe ungquzulwano lwezilwanyana zasendle. Zizimitha ezi-2 ububanzi nezi-2 zeemitha ubunzulu kwaye zisebenza kakuhle xa kuthelekiswa nezilwanyana ezanyisayo ezinkulu. Ngaphezulu kwe-11,000 izisele zeenyosi ziye zathengwa kwaye zasasazwa kumaqela ahlukeneyo oluntu. Iihives zifakwe ecaleni kwemida yendawo ekhuselweyo.
Ngo-2019 kumzamo wokunqanda ungquzulwano lweZilwanyana zaseNdle zaBantu, “iSithuba seKlabhu yeZiginjana” ebiyelwe ngenkxaso-mali yokubiyela ucingo ithatha iikhilomitha ezili-10 ukusuka kwiKyambura Gorge ukuya kumda oseMpuma weQueen Elizabeth National Park kwisithili saseRubirizi.
