Zimbabwean child in the forest: An incredibly wonderful event has happened in Zimbabwe. A mere 8 year old child suddenly went into the lion sanctuary area while playing. As he moved forward to find his way, he descended deeper into the forest. There was no way now.
On the other hand, his parents, villagers and rangers went out to search for him, but even after searching for the whole day and the next day and even after searching for three days, no trace of him was found. The parents were disappointed.
8-year-old Tinotenda Pundu, who went missing in the forest on December 27, has reached a sanctuary near his village. There are 40 lions in this sanctuary. There are many other predatory animals like wolves, elephants. There are leopards too. It is also common to have poisonous snakes and scorpions in the forest. Even a young man cannot survive here without adequate preparation and he is safe only if he goes in numbers of 5-10. There should be sufficient weapons, guns, spears etc.
He kept wandering alone in such a forest. If you feel hungry then eat chwanjwa fruits, these fruits are very nutritious. They used to dig a pit near the water river and sleep under a tree at night. After five days, 50 km from his village. He talked about how he survived when rangers from far away found him. He also told that he actually used to dig a pit near the river with a long stick (branch) and drink water from it. He did not drink river water directly. Because the river is full of crocodiles. The only surprise is that neither eaten by wild animals, nor bitten by poisonous snakes or scorpions, how he survived, that is the amazing story of this child.
