A FAMILY from Dibutibu in Victoria Falls is searching for
two siblings who were swept away by the Zambezi River on Friday while taking
pictures close to the bank.
Police, community and parks rangers under Chief Mvuthu have
spent four days and nights searching for the two brothers from Chisuma village.
According to family spokesperson Promise Nkomo, the two
were on a fishing expedition with their other brother, when they decided to
take a bath.
“When the three brothers finished bathing, Nkazimulo Nkomo
(24) and his younger brother Thando Nkomo (14) asked their other brother to
take pictures of them on the edge of the river.
They reportedly stepped on a rock, slipped and were swept
away by the current,” he said.
Nkomo said they had been notified of one body being
discovered, but they were not yet certain if it belonged to one of the siblings.
Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority
spokesperson Tinashe Farawo said the search was still underway for the second
victim.
Nkazimulo was an artisan while Thando was doing Form 2 at
Nechilibi Secondary School in Victoria Falls. Newsday
