HA-MASAKONA - Mystery surrounds the death of two young boys (12) whose bodies were discovered on the banks of the Masakona stream on Monday.

The Police Liaison Officer in the Vhembe District, Capt Ailwei Mushanamadi, reported that the two boys were sent by their parents to buy vegetables. It was reported that the young boys did not return home that day.

Local community members were notified and a search team was organised to look for the missing boys. It was on Monday that community members discovered the bodies of the boys on the banks of the stream. The matter is still under investigation, as no one can tell as to what actually caused the death of the younger boys. They said that although it might be obvious that the deceased might have drowned in the stream, foul play could not be ruled out.
