Lake Kariba’s tragic ferry disaster keeps worsening—12 more bodies recovered, pushing death toll to 84.

For remote fishing communities where roads are nonexistent, this ferry was lifeline—and now it’s become a symbol of preventable tragedy. Search efforts continue as families desperately seek closure on one of the world’s largest man-made lakes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
