LOSS OF YOUNG LIVES, CAUSE FOR CONCERN



Hendrina - The South African Police Service in Mpumalanga is appealing to parents and guardians to look after their children during rainy season.

 There has been a discovery of two bodies of young girls aged seven and 12 in a dam at Kwazamokuhle Township near Hendrina.

The girls had reported missing on Sunday 1 February 2015. Police launched an intensive search for them and followed all possible leads.

Information at police disposal revealed that another child went to the parental home of one of the missing girls and asked whether she was back from the dam where they had been playing.
The police argued parents not to leave the children walk close to the dams and rivers alone.
The information conveyed to the police who then went to the mentioned place for a search. Upon arrival at the dam, the two lifeless naked bodies of the girls were found floating with their clothes next to the dam.

Communities urged to discourage their children from playing in the flooded dams and rivers. They further urged to monitor their children’s whereabouts at all times.
