Zimbabwe declares a State of Disaster following the capsizing of a Rural Infrastructure Development Agency (RIDA) ferry on Lake Kariba. Authorities confirm the death toll has risen to 44, after the incident in which the Mbuya Nehanda ferry overturns while carrying more than 120 people.
The South African reports the same core details: the State of Disaster is declared in response to the boat disaster and the fatalities are reported to be 44. New Zimbabwe adds that the ferry capsizes on Tuesday and links the incident to strong waves striking the vessel. Across outlets, both emphasize the government response and the updated death toll, while differences mainly relate to incident specifics and timing rather than the overall facts of the declaration and casualties.
