Sad news. RIP
Joy has turned into sorrow, so sad
Where was jesus? Lazy bustard, he should have saved these guys instead of listen to stupid prayers
It wasnt mothers day but drunkards,sex and prostitution youth day. We pple 4rom de lake we dont swim while drunk.
Ife tinayamba kupita ku nyanja 1973 mpaka pano, sitinamireko. Sitiyerekeza kulowa m’madzi timangowaonera patali. Otsalanu, kupita ku nyanja sikuti mpaka udumphire m’madzi basi!
mphuno salota ikanati izilota sakanapita , tiyeni amalawi tikapita kunyanja ngati sitimatha kusambira tisapite malo akuya komansa tisamwe mowa coz mphanvu ya mowa ikhonza kupangitsa kuti tipite malo akuya , RIP
as the old saying goes,do not drink and drive,so is do not drink and swim
Don’t place too much responsibility on the resort owners. It’s about self control. Swimming when drunk or when you know you don’t know how to swim is at owners risk.
Man is not an aquatic animal. Man leaves on land. certainly not in water. Leave water for water bodied animals lie crocodies, people who grew up in waters as these are more less aquatic animal. Besides I wonder if someone from Dedza or from my area can swim.
thats very sad
The truth is mapwando was over that day dri king sothing strong
People should be aware that in the lake there are currents (lake rivers) that constantly flow from one end to the other. As you walk through the waters you are likely to come across these currents and if not a good swim you can easily be taken away. So be ware not to go into deep waters beyond your waist if you are not a good swimmer.
Koma ndi banja kapena aliyense anathawa brnja lake ukanjoya ndi chibwezi? Tandiuzaniko ndisanapepese
This cost you life, money and leaving behind children destitute. Is going to the lake the only way celebrating mothers day
Please let’s be responsible enough with our life,why should celebration lead us to death?? i know some of you once your are drunk you lose everything. You become senseless so you can not have enough energy to swim.sad mothers day.
RIP we can not blame you coz you wanted to enjoy and you were not knowing that such could cost your life
Sad
rest in peace
Shaaaaaaaa.
Sad
The owners of these places must have control teams as the hotels do to manage people. This is avoidable death
Swimming with life guards is the solution even if you know how to swim; fatigue can catch up with you.
We need life guards at all public places along the lake!
They committed suicide!! Nanga munthu kuledzera, sudziwa kusambira yet kumadumphira mmadzi?? Ife tiziti chani??

Eishhhhhj
I was there in Salima during Mother’s Day right way at Baobab lodge.One thing I have noted that most of these people who go to the lake gets drunk and do not know how to swim.They are so excited with the lake,but not knowing that a slight mistake with water can cost you life.I thought probably the lodges around the lake should employ some Life guards around the lake during any event because these lodges make alot of money during such events at the lake.Such unnecessary death would be avoided.Youngsters also drink themselves to death during such events.You could see young teenage boys and girls heavily drunk to the point of failing to walk.Parents should take responsibility of their kids.
mizimu yawo iuse mumtendere .ndizoopsa kuti chisangalalo chathera muchisoni kwambiri.tithokoze kuti mitembo yawo yaziwika ndipo yapezeka.chenjedzo ndiloti tisamire kutali ngati sitidziwa kutsambila.
Sad mothers day. RIP
so sorry
