Ngwenya said: > Yes, 16 cattle were struck dead by lightning in my ward. Thirteen of them belong to one person while another family had two and another one beast struck dead. > They went to see the carcasses and could not do anything because culturally they cannot be burnt which happens even when a tree is struck by lightning. > It is first cut and gathered together. So, they ended up digging a trench and burying them all. Culturally, it is taboo to touch anything struck by lightning or burn it before some rituals are performed, reported the Chronicle. The items can then be burnt or buried underground and it is believed that this prevents further lightning strikes. Early this month, Evans Moyo (22) and his three-year-old daughter were struck dead by lightning while at home in Ndimimbili Village under Chief Mabhikwa, Lupane. Moyo’s wife, Nomatter (23) was left with burns and she was treated at St Luke’s Hospital and discharged. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
