Two Men Drown At Matopo Mission Dam After Day’s Work

Police have recovered the bodies of two men who drowned at Matopo Mission Dam on the evening of January 24, 2025.

According to ZimLive, the men, whose identities have not been released, had been hired by the school to carry out repairs on dormitories damaged in a fire last year.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the school’s headmaster, Gardson Sibanda, explained that after finishing work around 7 PM, the men decided to swim in the dam to cool off. Unfortunately, they quickly ran into trouble. He said:

Efforts to rescue them were fruitless and the matter was urgently reported to Matopo police.

Rescue efforts were suspended on January 24 as nightfall set in and resumed the following day.

One must have been an inexperienced swimmer. Happens a lot that an inexperienced person gets drawn into doing something thinking its gonna be easy. Especially nyaya dzekudhidha idzi. I nearly drowned long back the same way coz I did not want to say I cant swim and thought I would just figure it out in the water. The other one must have drowned trying to rescue the inexperienced one. Cramp is also another possible reason especially after a hard days work overusing the muscles. Fatigue in the middle of water another possibility. Maybe they swam too far out, the other one got too fatigued and started drowning. Else they were attacked by soneone or something. Problem is there is no witness.

Or probably ambushed by an animal mist likely a leopard forcing them to remain in the water until they got too tired. There are leopards in that area. It was rather foolhardy venturing into the dam at dusk with no one else around as thats when nocturnal.predators start getting active.

Mr Journo. It was a darn dam. Surely, they quickly swam into trouble, not run into trouble?
