TRAGEDY struck in Chihobvu village, under Chief Saunyama in Nyanga, last week, when a 14-year-old girl drowned in the Pendeke River.
Manicaland police spokesperson, Assistant Inspector Wiseman Chinyoka, confirmed the incident and identified the deceased as Mercy Madotsa.
Assistant Inspector Chinyoka said Mercy had gone to the river with two other juveniles to do laundry around 1pm.
“Mercy attempted to sit on a rock, slipped, and fell into the water, resulting in her drowning,” he said.
Mercy’s mother, Martha Dzomba, was notified and joined other villagers in retrieving the body.
The incident was reported to ZRP Nyanga, and the body was taken to Nyanga General Hospital for a postmortem examination.
