TWO men have drowned after their boat capsized at Bubi Lupane Dam, in Lupane, Matabeleland North Province.

The tragic incident has left the community mourning.

The victims have been identified as Joseph Masvora, a 24-year-old police officer, and Brian Thulani Ngwenya, a 26-year-old council employee.

In an interview with Zimpapers, Lupane District Development Coordinator (DDC) Mrs Ennety Sithole confirmed the incident.

“The two drowned on Sunday afternoon. Ngwenya’s body has been recovered after it was washed ashore by the waves, while the ZRP Sub-Aqua Unit is yet to arrive and retrieve Masvora’s body,” she said.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, with preliminary reports suggesting strong waves may have contributed to the boat overturning.
