TWO people from Jotsholo drowned in separate incidents over the weekend as police continued urging members of the public to desist from trying to cross flooded rivers.

On 25 February, Resistance Mhlanga (19) of Banda Village, Chief Mabhikwa, Jotsholo drowned while trying to cross the flooded Gwayi River. His body was retrieved the same day.

Police on their official Twitter page also confirmed that the second victim, Mthulisi Ndlovu (5) from St Georges Village drowned in a 2m deep well after his guardians left him alone at home.
