A Rural Infrastructure Development Agency boat capsized on Lake Kariba on August 11, 2026, killing at least 15. Police counted 95 aboard; the Civil Protection Unit cited 114-plus ticketed adults and an unknown number of children. A wave swamped the engine compartment near Andorra Harbour in bad weather. The state-affiliated vessel's involvement raises questions about maintenance and weather-suspension protocols.
