Earlier this morning, IPSS Medical Rescue responded to a tragic drowning incident near Bongimfundo Primary School.
Reports indicate that a 9-year-old boy had been playing with a neighbour’s child near a small dam in the area on Saturday evening when he reportedly fell into the water. The other child later alerted the family when the boy did not return home.
A search was initiated during the night, and sadly the child was recovered from the water at approximately 04:00 this morning.
Despite all efforts, the child was declared deceased on scene.
This tragic incident highlights the serious dangers that dams, rivers, and other open water sources pose, particularly to children.
IPSS Medical Rescue extends our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and community during this incredibly difficult time.
Authorities are investigating the incident.
