Heat wave �silently� claims lives

A concerned relative of the deceased informed us that the doctors told them that the death of their loved one was a result of heatstroke. However, hospital authorities have declined to confirm the cause of death, instead, accusing the media of trying to increase newspaper sales.

The Ramotswa death follows another unexplained death in Gamodubu on December 22 where a man was found dead several hours after he was seen working his field under the burning sun. The family only announced to the mourners that he died of possible dehydration and had to buried within shortest time possible.
