A tragic incident in Nzovunde Village, Binga, has claimed the life of a 2-year-old toddler who died from severe burns after falling into a metal dish containing about 40 liters of hot porridge.

The incident occurred on 3 June 2025, when the child was reportedly left unattended by their grandmother, who was preparing to brew traditional beer.

The toddler sustained critical injuries and sadly passed away the following day.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) confirmed the incident and urged parents and guardians to remain vigilant, especially when handling hazardous substances near children.
