Wildlife Wednesdays!

As Human Wildlife conflict intensifies in Binga district, Baboons are breaking into houses -vandalising people's utensils, and eating their food. These actions are also attributed to Elino induced droughts which affected the food systems in the Jungles. @ActUbumbano @Zimparks

The RA will ensure that the final law incorporates the views and aspirations of the people. @ActUbumbano

[Binga District Residents Association @BingaResidents]

This amendment is a response to an ongoing effort of demanding for social justice on victim of HWC by RA. Amending the Parks & Wildlife Act of 1975, comes in as a sigh relief to the Association. The onus is on RA to continuously monitor the process. @ActUbumbano

Binga RA participated in the parliamentary portfolio committee public hearing on the Parks and Wildlife Amendment Bill held at Manjolo Drop-in Centre on 12 July 2024. This bill comes in as a response to Binga RA position paper on the Human Wildlife Conflict. @ActUbumbano

Residents now resort to Lake Kariba for the precious liquid, making them susceptible attack to hippos and crocodiles. Life is becoming unbearable at Binga centre. ZINWA should put up a back-up system and not to entirely dependent on ZESA. @zinwawater, @ZetdcOfficial

[Binga District Residents Association @BingaResidents]

It's now three days without power at Binga centre. Prolonged power outage has led to a water crisis at Binga centre since ZINWA pumping system is dependent on ZESA power.

During the meeting, the Local board only accounted for ZWL4,638,022,785.77 in form of capital projects and ZWL18,121,199,364.23 was not accounted for? Does this mean that it will all go to administration cost? What's the Administration-Service provision ratio when budgeting?

On 27 Oct 2023, Binga Local Board held its 2024 budget consultation meeting with Kaani ward residents. The officers conducting failed to respond to several questions and observations made by residents because none of them had an appreciation in financial issues.

[Binga District Residents Association @BingaResidents]

The only Treasurer accounting for both Local Board and RDC absconded to come and explain the technical financial issues. The income for 2024 is ZWL22,759,222,150 and expenditure is ZWL 22,665,613,400.00. The council will realise a surplus of ZWL93,608,750. Quite ridiculous.

3. Poor road maintenance workmanship by Apple Ridge contractor. 4. Fishing in breeding areas by Zambians due to parks complacence @Zimparks

[Binga District Residents Association @BingaResidents]

Binga RA held a meeting today, 24 Sept 2022, to discuss pressing issues affecting the residents of Binga. Issues discussed included: 1. Abusive rank touts. 2. Competing buses- CAG, ZUPCO and Stallion- putting lives of travellers at risk. @zupcobus.

[Binga District Residents Association @BingaResidents]

This a serious cause for concern. Elephants are everywhere. At Binga we are now living in harmony with elephants. But do elephants know how to co-exist with human beings?

@communitypodium @HwangeResidents @kubatana @Zimparks @Impitechproject @Vostile1 @Hwangefm1 Poaching has increased Human Wildlife Conflict/ Human Wildlife Interaction as animals run away from their habitat to resident places for refuge. Parks needs to intensify the monitoring mechanism to mitigate poaching and minimise HWC/HWI.
