Three men die during a baptism ceremony in Snake Park, Soweto.
Snake Park resident and witness have revealed that the drowning incident of three men was not a baptism ritual but a cleansing ceremony gone wrong.
” The water dragon took them”.
The bodies of three men aged between 24 and 30 were retrieved after they drowned in a stream in Snake Park, Soweto, during a baptism ceremony on Saturday.
Johannesburg emergency management services (EMS) spokesperson Nana Radebe said they received a call informing them of the incident at about 11.15am.
Radebe said the body of one of the victims was retrieved before midday, while the other two bodies were retrieved after 2pm.
It was not immediately clear what church the men belonged to.
The incident follows another that occurred at the Jukskei River last month when 14 church congregants died during a baptism ceremony. .
