‘I want to search for my son even if lions kill me’

Two Namibian fishermen missing after illegally crossing Liyanti River to Botswana

Lyanshulu villager Chamaku Shomana (79) says she has been living in agony for the past month.

Her son, Tokomelo Lunyanzo (39), has not returned home after going fishing in Botswana.

“Not knowing what happened to my son for the past month has left me worried. I cannot even sleep. I want to go search for my son even if lions kill me.

“Since they were there illegally, I suspect they might have been taken by the Botswana Defence Force (BDF),” she says.

Shomana says Lunyanzo’s father was hospitalised when he heard the news.
