A FAMILY from Mkhosana suburb in Victoria Falls was on Friday night visited by an unlikely guest a hyena scavenging for food.

The family had to call for help from neighbours who killed the hyena with an axe.

Residents revealed to a local daily paper that the hyena was believed to be one of the problem animals that had terrorised residents, killing and eating dogs and chickens. Some associated it with witchcraft and claimed that the man who had axed it started behaving in a weird way.

Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority rangers took away the dead predator, more than an hour after its fatal foray over a precast wall into the yard.

Comment could not be obtained immediately from Zimparks spokesperson Caroline Washaya Moyo yesterday.
