A one-year-old child has died and 23 more people are feared dead after a hippopotamus capsized a canoe on a river.
Over 30 villagers were crossing the Shire River in Malawi’s Nsanje district when a hippo charged at their boat, causing it to overturn, authorities said.
Police spokesperson, Agnes Zalakoma, said the incident happened early Monday and 23 of the boat’s 37 passengers were missing in crocodile and hippo-infested waters.
