Lake Malawi

The Tanzanian government has sent fifteen divers to search for the bodies of twelve Malawians who died when a boat sank on Lake Malawi in the early hours of Saturday.

Speaking at the official welcoming of the fifteen divers on Tuesday, Tanzanian high commissioner Victoria Richard Mwakasege said the team has experts who have the skills to search for the bodies.

Lake MalawiThe fifteen divers are to search Lake Malawi but with limits on some areas as some points are much deeper and difficult for searching.

The twelve Malawians were sailing on Lake Malawi from Mbamba Bay in Tanzania to Nkhata Bay in Malawi using the Tanzanian boat MV Mapeza.

A Malawian official Chikumbutso Ziyaya said the Tanzanian boat had developed a fault on an outlet pump which was supposed to be draining water.

According to Ziyaya, when a rescue team arrived at the scene they found that the boat had already sunk.

The team of divers from Malawi cancelled the search as they did not find any body after searching for days.

  4. imeneyo amati SAR, search and rescue, siimatengela kuti anthu ndi akuti ai. mw was supposed to be first on the scene. komaso diving ndiye kuti akufufuza katundu, izi zimafuna sophisticated equipment. bodies float after two or three days. with the mwera winds the bodies have drifted further north.

  5. Wht I knw is tht water is 4 the fish, the sky is 4 the birds, mountains are 4 the monkeys, a human being is 4 the ground. People like things. I saw people crying when another white family had drowned in water when their upstairs house built beside the sea collapsed coz of heavy tidal wind frm the sea(TSUNAMI). I didn’t cry coz adaziyambs dala kumanga NYUMBA pangozi. Wanthu ukonda zinthu. Leave playing in water 4 crocodiles.
