Grahamstown police have confirmed that two Rhodes University students aged 21
and 23-years-old drowned at Settlers dam over the weekend.
Three students who are Zimbabwean nationals
hired a boat and went fishing at Settlers dam on Saturday, however due to
strong winds the boat capsized.
Lieutenant Luvuyo Mjekula said one student
managed to swim to shore and report the incident.
Police searched for the two students and
only found their bodies on Sunday night.
Mjekula said police divers, search and
rescue personnel from East London and Port Elizabeth were mobilized in search
of the bodies.
Mjekula said after an extensive search the
bodies were found on Sunday afternoon, family members were notified to
positively identify the bodies.
“They suffered no physical injuries and
therefore a possibility of foul play will be ruled out Mjekula added.
