Bulawayo woman killed in Johannesburg floods

AN EIGHT-month pregnant Zimbabwean woman was found dead in South Africa following massive flash floods which killed seven people and displaced hundreds in the neighbouring country last week.

Caroline Sithole (34) of Mzilikazi suburb in Bulawayo, who worked as a florist in Johannesburg, was found dead in Eastleigh stream in South Africa's commercial capital on Saturday.

Her body was found a day after the discovery of her car, some kilometres away.

Sithole's relatives are still to agree on her burial place between Zimbabwe and South Africa.

Speaking from South Africa yesterday, her uncle, Mr Munyaradzi Chiguri, said Sithole went missing on Tuesday evening following flash floods that hit Johannesburg.

The late Sithole's grandmother, Ms Farai Khumalo (70) at her residence in Mzilikazi yesterday, she said burial arrangements were still underway.
