Eight-year-old Tinotenda Pudu's survival story
A rescue team found an eight-year-old boy alive after he survived five harrowing days in Matusadona Game Park, a wildlife sanctuary in northern Zimbabwe filled with lions and elephants. Tinotenda Pudu, the boy, relied on his knowledge of the wild and remarkable survival skills to endure the ordeal, according to Mashonaland West Member of Parliament Mutsa Murombedzi.
“Tinotenda spent five days sleeping on a rocky perch, surrounded by roaring lions and passing elephants, while eating wild fruits,” MP Murombedzi shared on the social media platform X.
The young survivor demonstrated resourcefulness by digging small wells into dry riverbeds with a stick to access drinking water, a technique commonly taught in the drought-prone region.
Murombedzi reports that Tinotenda heard the sound of a ranger’s vehicle and ran towards it, narrowly missing it as it passed. The rangers spotted “fresh little human footprints” and searched the area until they found him, undeterred.
“This is probably his last chance of being rescued after 5 days in the wilderness,” said the MP, emphasising the urgency of the discovery.
Social media users have praised the eight-year-old’s courage and resilience, sparking admiration for his survival.
“This defies human understanding,” one user wrote on X, while another commented, “He’ll have an incredible story to share when he returns to school.”
Chikezie Charles Uche wrote on Facebook, “Extraordinary boy. Heaven is interested in him.”
