They were in the company of their grandmother, Mavis Nzara, 68, when they drowned.

Gogo Mavis told H-Metro that they were looking for firewood near the Hunyani River when the incident occurred. She said:

> We were looking for firewood along the river bank when the children went to the pit.

> Pavandisiya ndafunga kuti varikunotsvaga makavi. One of them shouted for help, and when I rushed there, I found them struggling, and I tried in vain to rescue them.

> I don’t know why they never went swimming in the shallow water. They just went into the pit for a reason I do not know.

After Gogo Mavis raised the alarm, scores of Mayambara villagers rushed to the open pit, but it was too late as the three students had already drowned. | H-Metro
