BREAKING NEWS: Video emerges as more than 20 Congolese killed in boat accident
Around 23 bodies have been recovered and 40 people rescued following a boat accident on Lake Kivu, Colonel Molatelo Motau of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) mission in Democratic Republic of Congo said on Thursday.
A video (above) appeared to show the two-deck boat tilting sideways before capsizing in calm waters.
A local migration authority said that around 45 males and 35 females were registered as passengers, adding that those figures were not definitive and ages were unavailable.
