Residents who came to the scene of the tragedy appealed to the Harare City Council to close the pits. Said one resident:
We have been calling for the closing of the pits for some time but it has all been in vain.
We are losing young lives in circumstances that can be avoided.
This is the second incident within six months and it’s so disheartening.
We monitor our children asi vana vanonzvenga voenda ikoko (but the kids slip away and go to the pool).
