Kafue National Park, Lake Itezhi-Tezhi, Zambia. Seizure of an illegal fishing boat. Lake Itezhi Tezhi was formed in the 1970s and covers an area of some 37,000 hectares. Its formation after the dam was built caused a gold rush, or rather a fish rush, creating livelihoods for those communities living around the lake, especially in Itezhi Tezhi town itself which is almost entirely supported by the fishing in the lake.
