Taung- A man allegedly died after he slipped through the stairs at Taung Dam in Taung.

According to our eyewitness, the atrocity took place on Wednesday at around 12:00 pm where a man wearing ZCC uniform came to the shores of the dam and climbed on top of a rock.

“We went fishing on Wednesday with friends and after sometime, a man between 40-45 years came across and greeted us. He went straight to the dam and stand on a rock” said our mole.

It is alleged that a man stripped naked and was screaming in prayers. He allegedly begged for forgiveness from God. The other couple who also visited the Dam came to him and advised him to dress and told him God has indeed heard his prayers.

“The man walked down the steps and he slipped. He got off the ground again and tied himself with white ropes. He walked down the stairs and slipped again” she said.

Our crew called police to confirm the incident, but colonel Emelda Setlhako said the Communication Officer in Taung cluster is not working as is a holiday.

“We have not received any news regarding that matter as we have not received crime report from other clusters, but I will make sure I give you full details tomorrow morning” Setlhako said.

The man allegedly rolled onto the rocks and died. He succumbed to injuries. Police and Emergency Service were called.

Even though the information surrounding the man’s dead is sketchy, more information will follow after our investigation.-TDN
