High number of lightning deaths a great concern
'We saw it fit to ask for divine intervention. In the meantime we have been proactive in assisting families to bury their loved ones' said Jozini Municipal Speaker
TWELVE people have lost their lives in lighting strikes in the Ngoyameni area in Ingwavuma since the beginning of the year.
Earlier this month a 12-year-old boy, Thulebona Mngomezulu, became the latest casualty when he was struck by lighting at his home.

Jozini Municipal Speaker Lindiwe Ntshangase-Gumbi, who attended a prayer day held last week at the Free Evangelical Church, expressed concern over the high number of deaths as a result of lightning strikes.
‘We saw it fit to ask for divine intervention. In the meantime we have been proactive in assisting families to bury their loved ones.’
