— The Environmental Council
of Zambia has penalized Lake
Safari Lodge for polluting Lake
Kariba with human waste
Lake Kariba, located 140 kilometers
south of Lusaka, is Africa's largest
man-made lake and a source of
drinking water for millions of people.
Lake Safari Lodge, which has
been discharging human waste
into the lake from its African Eagle
houseboat since last year, faces
fine of over $4,700 USD. The fees
were broken down into issues of
water pollution, air pollution and
discharge of raw sewer (human
waste) into the water body.
The company had already been
advised not to sump waste and raw
sewage into the lake following an environmental impact assessment last
year, according to the environmental
council's communications manager,
Justine Mukosa, but it did not comply...
