The body of Police Constable Joseph Masvora, 24, who drowned at Bubi-Lupane Dam in last Sunday, was finally recovered on Sunday morning.
According to National Police Spokesperson, Commissioner Paul Nyathi, the body was found floating on the surface of the dam, bringing an end to a grueling seven-day search effort.
Commissioner Nyathi was quoted at The Chronicle newspaper extending condolences to the Masvora family and assuring the public that investigations into the incident are ongoing.
The tragic accident occurred when Constable Masvora and his friend, Brian Thulani Ngwenya, 26, boarded a council-owned boat, which later capsized. Their clothes were found neatly placed on the riverbank, sparking speculation and confusion among locals.
The recovery of Constable Masvora’s body follows the earlier recovery of Ngwenya’s body, which has since been buried.
Lupane authorities have expressed their gratitude to all those who contributed to the search efforts, highlighting the unity and resilience of the community during the week-long search.
