kapenta fishing lig that was fishing near the house where this man was
lodging”, said Mr Mweetwa.
According to the DC , the Lebanese tourist was not comfortable with the presence of
the lig there so he used his boat to approach the fishermen and asked them to move away a bit
into the lake because the boat was making noise for his children who wanted to
sleep.
“Unfortunately, the kapenta lig cound not move because the engine had a problem and
needed to be pulled “, explained Mr Mweetwa.

boat and shot at the fishermen although no one
was injured .
