Three Ngoile primary school pupils have been killed by a lion in the Orbalbal ward in Ngorongoro District in Arusha Region.

The children were searching for their cattle that had got lost in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Information from Ngorongoro Conservation Area said that another child was seriously injured by the wild cat.

Ngoile primary school headteacher, Lobulu Meeje told The Citizen that all three pupils were from the same family. Meeje named the dead pupils as Ndoskoy Sangau, Sangau Metui, and Sangau Kadonyo while Kiyambwa Namuyata escaped with multiple injuries.

Sad, the kids were killed.

This "story line" is such a load of crap:

"The children were searching for their cattle that had got lost in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area."


Much more likely story: The children were pushing the cattle into the NCA to graze. They then tried to drive the lion off from taking an easy dinner. The lion took offence and dealt with the antagonists.

Herders encroaching reserves is a constant issue recently.

Yeah its a sad deal. But, what the heck were they doing with their cattle there? Definitely not worth the risk

What? The lion doesn't have a name? He isn't one of the 'cute' lions so they can blame the lion on this one. Had they just given him a name this could have been avoided. But since he doesn't have a name, then he's just a 'wild cat'. Makes you wonder how the story would have read if ole Cecil was responsible.

Still, it is a shame that three children were lost and a fourth seriously maimed. I can't imagine how that must feel as a parent, and I hope I never find out.

To add...who sends four little kids out to do that anyway? Not even one adult with them? In that area? So sad to hear.

In Africa I believe that most if not all herding is done by teenagers or younger. At least that's what I have seen and heard.

Sad news that children have lost their lives. I bet you will not see this in the western news outlets.

I don’t doubt that for a minute. Just thought maybe that area would have added danger. At any rate, what a horrible way to meet your end.
