Ferry Disaster on Zimbabwe's Lake Kariba Exposes Systemic Failures At least 15 people have died and dozens are missing after an overloaded ferry capsized on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe.
The tragedy has sparked widespread outrage and calls for greater accountability from the government, which has a long history of ignoring warnings and neglecting critical infrastructure.
The ferry, carrying more than its capacity of 90 people, was transporting passengers between the northern town of Kariba and several islands and fishing camps when it departed in bad weather.
