A FORM Four pupil at Kotwa High School in Mutoko reportedly
collapsed and died after consuming excessive amounts of an illicit brew during
a drinking competition with friends.
The incident, according to police sources, who conducted
the investigations, occurred on August 6, as students engaged in a weekend
beer-drinking binge at a local bottle store.
The deceased, identified as Crossby Mose (18) of Meza
village in Chief Mukota’s area, reportedly died on admission at Kotwa Hospital.
Efforts to contact the Mashonaland East provincial police
spokesperson for comment were fruitless as his mobile phone went unanswered
yesterday.
Sources said on the fateful day, Mose was at a bottle store
playing snooker with Taurai Mudembo (25) and Nyasha Chataika (26).
It is reported that a fellow villager, Gift Mugavamadzi
(27), entered the bottle store and offered to buy alcohol for the trio.
Mugavamadzi reportedly bought a 200ml bottle of the illicit
brew and gave it to Mudembo, who gulped the contents without taking a break
before he vomited.
Mose then joined the contest where he reportedly gulped
600ml of the illicit brew at once before he collapsed. He died on admission at
the hospital the following morning. Newsday
