PROSPECTS of a bumper harvest by some Binga villagers this year have been dented by marauding elephants which are destroying crops in the Matabeleland North area.
Most parts of the country received normal to above normal rainfall this year following years of successive draughts.
Siyanzundu traditional leader, Chief Saba told NewZimbabwe.com some elephants herds straying from the Hwange and Chizarira National Parks were destroying crops.
“This year, we have witnessed an unprecedented number of elephants which are destroying our crops particularly maize,” said Chief Saba.
“Following good rains this year, almost every household in this area was expecting a decent harvest but these elephants have made our lives unbearable.”
