At least 15 people have lost their lives in the devastating incident, with a further 27 still missing and feared to be trapped beneath the water. The ferry, which was reportedly carrying hundreds of passengers, was traveling from the town of Kariba to the nearby village of Sengwa when it suddenly rolled over, sending terrified passengers into the lake.
