2 school children drown while swimming in a disused pit   

TWO schoolboys from Cowdray Park in Bulawayo drowned yesterday after they decided to go swimming in a disused five metre dip pit on their way back from school.

The pit was left open after abandonment of work to build a petrol station by Zanu PF secretary for administration, Obert Mpofu. Two tanks that had been delivered were never lowered into the pit which has grown in size due to rains.
