If those guys who caught it say it's a Piranha then it's a Piranha. It has teeth

and looks like one to me so I have no reason to believe otherwise. ;)

Piranha dont have that kind of long and slender body, but if you say it a piranha then ok. :)

With teeth like that....whatever they want to eat. ;)

From Wikipedia

Several species in the genus Hydrocynus of the family Alestiidae are called "tigerfish" and are particularly prized as gamefish. These African fish found in many rivers and lakes on the continent, and are fierce predators with distinctive protruding teeth.

The two most common species and probably most recognisable in Southern Africa are the Goliath Tiger (Hydrocynus goliath) which is found in the Congo river system being the largest of the Family. The second largest and the southern-most species is the Tigerfish (Hydrocynus forskalii) commonly found in the Zambezi river and Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. This species is often referred to as the best freshwater sport angling fish in the world and pound for pound, gives you as good a fight as the marlin with the current angling record standing at 16.10kg

Scientific name of that picture....Hydrocynus vittatus
