Not even villagers who heard her wailing and rushed to
cover her with a blanket could save her from the marauding bees.
Midlands provincial police spokesman Inspector Emmanuel
Mahoko confirmed the death of Sitholakhe Moyo (42) who was teaching at Nyamhara
Primary School.
“I can confirm that Mrs Sitholakhe Moyo was attacked by a
swarm of bees while on her way home from the local shops.
The incident happened at around 5pm on Wednesday.
“She was later confirmed dead a few minutes after she was
admitted to Nembudziya Hospital,” he said.
Villagers told Sunday News that the community was still
shocked.
They said on the day Mrs Moyo knocked off from work and
decided to go to buy a few groceries at a local business centre which is close
to the school.
A villager, Mr Tinashe Chinaka said on her way back,
suddenly a swarm of bees came from one of the trees which was near the path and
attacked her.
“We heard her crying and rushed to where she was but when
we got there she had fallen down and the bees were all over her,” said Mr
Chikuse.
He said one villager rushed with a blanket and covered the
teacher but the bees kept ferociously buzzing around trying to sting her
further.
Mr Chikuse said villagers quickly sought the help of a
local who has a car to take Mrs Moyo to Nembudziya Hospital.
“We later heard that she was confirmed dead upon arrival at
the hospital,” he said.
He said later on officials from the Environmental
Management Agency attended the scene and sprayed the bees. Sunday News
