The two fishermen are believed to have been fishing at the vicinity on the day. The ZRP has not yet published anything concerninng the incident.
Rescue teams worked tirelessly, and while Ralph’s body was recovered, the search for Clemence continued and he was found yesterday. Efforts were made throughout the day yesterday, with the assistance of the Norton Community, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and the Department of Scuba Divers.
Despite their diligent search, Clemence’s body remains missing, and the hunt is ongoing.
The community is rallying together, offering prayers and support to the families affected by this tragic incident.
