Double tragedy as Limpopo cousins drown

"When the children came back from school, I gave them food and before I could leave to give Eskom officials directions to my house, I called them. But they kept laughing, and when I asked them why they were laughing, they told me that they were just happy," Sibambo recalled.

"I then left. I was later called by their aunt, who said she found both Buhle and Sinomndeni floating in the water. We tried to resuscitate them [to no avail] and then took them to hospital where they were pronounced dead," said a tearful Sibambo. Buhle's mother Sindile Mdlalose said her daughter drowned as she tried to save her cousin."... we always liked seeing them talking and playing silly together and making jokes," said Mdlalose.

Mpumalanga police spokesperson Brig Leonard Hlathi said they have already experienced 15 drownings since the beginning of the year."We have opened an inquest docket from the death of the two children and investigations are continuing," said Hlathi.
