Officials received word of the incident just before 18:00 pm on Friday evening. Police divers recovered the first body roughly two days after the reported incident at around 10:00 am that Sunday morning.
The body was later identified as a 35-year old man from Tumahole township in Parys. For now police indicated that he is a “Mr Booi”.
The body of the second man was recovered on Monday. As of this report the deceased is yet to be identified says Makhele.
