KINSHASA, Congo—Fourteen people drowned in a lake on the border between Zambia and Congo when the boat they were taking across sank earlier this week, Congolese lawmakers said Friday.
The boat passengers died on Lake Mwero as they were leaving Chinsamba island, according to Abraham Kitanika Soriano, a member of Congo’s parliament. A 15th passenger died of a heart attack due to the stress of the incident, he said.
