A 39-year-old man who was hired to construct kraals at Masiadime lands in the outskirts of Bobonong was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a water tank commonly known as ‘Jojo tank’ on Tuesday.

The deceased's body was found in a badly decomposed state. The police said the deceased was discovered by his family members after trying to contact him through his mobile phone to no avail for weeks.

They said weeks later they could not reach him through his mobile phone,” he said. Stone said concerned by his whereabouts, weeks later his family members tried to follow him at his yard in Bobonong still to no avail and got worried.
