A three-year-old named Keila Nkomo from Cowdray Park in Bulawayo drowned after slipping into a Blair toilet pit that had filled up with rainwater. The kid was messing around outside with another child when she fell into the roughly 2.5-meter hole. Her aunt pulled her out and tried to help, but she had already gone under.
Cops are telling parents to watch their kids more carefully during the wet season since pits and wells can turn deadly real quick. Cowdray Park has garbage sanitation setup with tons of shallow toilets that get dangerous when storms roll through. Similar accidents killed a two-year-old who fell down a well and a four-year-old who drowned in a flooded latrine over the past few years.
