Zimbabwe: Farmers use harmless repellent to save crops from elephants (www.aa.com.tr)

A nonlethal concoction invented by farmers in northern Uganda is helping the people of Zimbabwe keep away rampaging elephants, after years of their attacks on farms during harvest season.

Farmers like Flora Mangwana in the village of Dingani in the Dete region, 500 kilometers (310 miles) from the capital Harare, said the concoction is working successfully.

“I’m happy this concoction is working. I’ve seen some changes compared to other years that I’ve lived here,” she said.
