Dibete police are investigating the death of a 56-year-old man who was found lying motionless inside a tent at Mantshe cattlepost on the outskirts of Mmaphashalala on Saturday morning.

According to police, the deceased had not been seen for some time in the morning, something that forced his farm worker to check on him.

The worker reportedly tried to wake him up but received no response. He then opened the tent and found the man still lying inside motionless and reported the matter to the police.
