Limpopo boy (11) drowns while crossing river
Another child has drowned in a Limpopo river, this time in Seshego outside Polokwane.
The incident comes hot in heels of an incident where two boys, aged 12 and 13, drowned while swimming in Makgodu Village.
It is reported that an 11-year-old boy drowned while crossing water stream between Sengatane and Jerusalem villages on Sunday.
Police in Limpopo say the child experienced some difficulties while crossing the stream unattended with his two siblings, aged 3 and 13.
"The 13-year-old sibling went back home to report the elders, and upon their arrival at the scene they managed to retrieve the body from the stream and the victim was certified dead on the scene by paramedics," says police spokesperson Malesela Ledwaba.
Police are investigating circumstances surrounding the incident.
