“We received a call about the stray lion roaming in Chiredzi, and our reaction team is on-site to locate it,” he said.
Given the circumstances, Farawo advised the community to remain calm but alert.
He suggested that residents limit their nighttime activities and make sure cattle are safely secured in their pens to reduce the risk of encounters with the wild animal.
