Below are some pictures from Lake Chivero, where thousands of fish died after suffocating under water contaminated with cyanobacteria.
Among the dead fish, some still appeared fresh, others were decomposing, and some had reduced to mere skeletons.
The distance between the dead fish and the current shoreline was approximately ten meters. The presence of dried algae further indicated that the fish had been dying over an extended period.
Some fish were crusted in this dried algae.
The Harare City Council has been blamed for the water contamination crisis, as it is responsible for discharging raw sewage into the lake.
