We have retrieved the body of a man who was spotted trapped between rocks by a villager who was looking for his donkeys along the Limpopo River on December 17.
The body of the unidentified man was retrieved at the advanced state of decomposition and indications are that he could have drowned while crossing the flooded Limpopo River.
Cases of drowning have become common in Beitbridge during the ongoing rainy season.
Currently, the Limpopo River, now six metres deep, and many streams are in flood with heavy rains continuing across the region.
