A DRUNK curio vendor drowned in a swimming pool at one of
Home Affairs minister Obert Mpofu’s night clubs in Victoria Falls Town on
Monday night.
Officer Commanding Victoria Falls Police, Chief
Superintendent Jairos Chiwona confirmed the incident and identified the victim
as Themba Ndumba (31) of BH36 under Chief Mvuthu.
Ndumba’s colleague, Prosper Bhebhe said they were both
drunk when the accident happened.
“We were drinking beer at Falls Club but it became too hot
and we decided to go and swim. The gate was closed because it was at around
7pm,” he said.
“After entering the pool, Themba just disappeared and
initially I thought he was swimming from the deep end, but when I realised that
he wasn’t coming out, I immediately went to seek help. When one of the patrons
came, he went inside the pool and found him dead at the deep end. He was so
drunk and could not manoeuvre in the water.”
His body was taken to Victoria Falls mortuary for post
mortem. Newsday
