Gumare — The Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) is yet to establish the cause of the recent elephant deaths in the Okavango region.
The department's principal veterinary officer, Dr Wave Kasheeka said samples from the carcasses had already been taken for postmortem and they were awaiting results.
Dr Kasheeka urged affected communities to desist from feeding on the meat.
Dr Kasheekwa doubted any deliberate poisoning of the elephants, noting that the postmortem results would tell.
