The woman who lost her arm when she was attacked by a crocodile in Victoria Falls has started a new life in the UK with her husband.
“ . . . Well, we are now in the UK. But for now nothing too exciting is happening. We are working on getting a prosthetic arm,” Mrs Zanele Ndlovu-Fox told the Sunday News.
But she said she is now suing the tour company, seven months after the tragic accident. “We are pursuing a legal case against the tour company we were using on the day. We have decided to take them to court because we were under their care and they led us to a place with crocodiles and I didn’t do anything wrong. And also the owners of the company didn’t even bother to call me a single time. All they did was just refund us the money we paid for the activities we had paid to do the following day and I think that’s so heartless,” said Mrs Ndlovu-Fox.
A director of the tour company in question — Adventure Zone, which is in Victoria Falls, Mr Brent Williamson, said he was not aware of the development, adding that when people undertook such activities, they were made aware of the dangers and had to sign indemnity forms before hand.
“People are given a full briefing and are asked to sign indemnity forms. I am not aware of any legal proceedings,” he said.
Mrs Ndlovu-Fox who is a former Zimbabwe tennis star lost her right arm, while canoeing in Victoria Falls. She tied the knot with the love of her life Jamie, at a beautifully organised, heart-warming ceremony at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo where she had been recuperating after losing her right arm to the crocodile.
