The boat was significantly overcrowded, carrying 114 adults, five crew, and an unknown number of children, despite a 90-person capacity. Authorities are conducting rescue operations to locate those who remain unaccounted for. The disaster occurred after the vessel was overwhelmed by waves on the world’s largest human-made lake. Zimbabwean police have confirmed the death toll and are investigating the cause of the capsizing, focusing on the apparent overloading of the ferry. The Civil Protection Unit is coordinating the search and recovery efforts, working to provide support to affected families.
