SAD: 3 Pupils Drown In Luanshya at Infamous Mikomfwa Dam
Three grade eight pupils of Walale shanty compound in Luanshya on the Copperbelt province have drowned in Mikomfwa dam today.
The pupils met their fate when they allegedly dogged from school to go and swim at the infamous gideon watch dam (Mikomfwa dam), Wednesday, September 11, 2013.
School Teachers at Mazziery Primary School in Walale shanty compound which is in Luanshya disclosed that at about 14:00 hours today the pupils went to Mikomfwa dam to take a swim, but unfortunately met their fate.
“ Right now, people are searching for the bodies of the children at Mikomfwa ,” said one of the Teachers who declined to disclose his identity.
And a check at Mikomfwa dam found that concerned residents were trying to search for the bodies of the pupils.
Almost two weeks ago, a seven year old girl drowned in the same Dam when she went for a swim in the company of other girls.
