Chadiza man coming from toilet attacked by hyena
A marauding hyena has left a man of Kambulile Village of Chief Mwangala’s area of Chadiza District with a life threatening wound on his left leg.
42 year old Isaac Mwale was attacked by the Hyena last night around mid night on his way back into the house from his backyard latrine after a call of nature.
Mwale said on his way back to the house, he saw a black animal that looked like a dog that leaped at him after which it severely mauled him his left leg.
He said he took courage and wrestled with the mammal until he rescued himself only to discover that it had chewed part of his left leg.
Mwale has since been treated for the wound at Taferansoni Clinic in the same area.
Last week villagers from Zingalume Village of chief Zingalume’s area appealed to the Zambia Wild Life Authority (ZAWA ) to crop the growing number of hyenas said to be terrorising goats and people in the area.
And in another development the Chadiza Magistrate court has adjourned to 10 February 2012 the case in which two suspects were arrested with a rocket propelled grenade.
Chadiza police public prosecutor Charles Situtu appealed for the extension of the mention case because the police have not yet received instructions from the Director of Public Prosecution.
And Magistrate Musonda Chanda granted the extension to the 10 February 2012 and has also extended bail for the first accused Agnes Nyirenda a deputy head Teacher at Zingale Basic School of Chipata District to the same date while the second accused Kachepa Zulu of Kavala village of chief Mwangala’s area still remain in police custody.

ZAWA has nothing to do with these “human” hyenas, a very well known phenomena in Eastern Zambia!

rocket propelled grenade, nga afunishe kwi? i hope that fool is given a heavy sentence that it serves as a deterrent to all those that seek to bring or make such rubbish in our country. We love our peace in zambia, do not give us ideas how to make such things. oh yh, quick recovery to the easterner.

This sounds like a human hyena, too much nfwitis in Eastern prov just like those human crocs in Lake Bangweulu. Quick recovery mwana wakwitu. ZAWA do your job, human life is more important than an animal.

ITS AMAZING THAT HYENAS ARE ATTACKING PEOPLE AT WILL. WHY SHOULD THE VILLAGERS APEAL TO ZAWA TO CROP THE ATTACKING HYENAS. THAT IS WASTING TIME.THOSEA BEASTS ARE NOT EVEN FIT FOR A DISH.
SOLUTIONS
1. ALL THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED THOULD MOBILZE THEMSELVES EMASS
2. TRACK THEM RIGHT TO THEIR HIDEOUT
3. GATHER FIREWOOD AROUND THE CAVE WHICH IS NORMALLY THEIR HIDEOUT AND MAKE A BIG FIRE UNTIL THEY PERISH
4. IF THAT FAILS KILL SOME GOATS LACE THEM WITH SOME CHEMICALS AND SCATTER THEM AROUND COZ ONCE THEY FEAST ON THEM THAT WILL BE THE END OF THE STORY.
IFACT THOSE BEASTS COULD BE STRAY ONES COMING FROM EITHER MALAWI OR MOZAMBIQUE. WAITING FOR ZAWA WILL NEVER SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. ACT IN SELF DEFENCE.

Come on lets just ensure that the hyenas are moved to a game park.

Its because Sata loves poachers more than ZAWA

Too bad for the man. ZAWA control the animals you can not risk life for animals. Please kill those hyena unless they are human made because Chipata people like keeping hyenas (don’t worry they are my cousins)
