A TODDLER allegedly drowned on Monday after falling into a 20 litre bucket in Bulawayo's Entumbane suburb.
One year old Brighton Mbaiwa, who was left in the custody of the family's maid, died while the woman was doing laundry.
Zimmetro understands that a source revealed to a local publication that the maid is said to have gone inside the house leaving the child playing outside where she was doing laundry. When she came out she found the child having fallen headlong into the 20 litre bucket filled with water.
Bulawayo police spokesperson Inspector Precious Simango said they have launched investigations into the toddler’s death.
She urged members of the public to exercise caution when dealing with toddlers.
