A 50-year old Zambian national has died in Durban, South Africa after he was found unconscious in his room at a guest house he was lodging.
The deceased has been identified as Boniface Mbewe, an employee of a named mining company in Zambia.
According to information made available to the Zambian Mission in Pretoria, the late Mr Mbewe who was a chemical engineer by profession was in South Africa on official duties.
He is reported to have been discovered unconscious by employees at the guest house who called in paramedics who pronounced him dead.
His body has since been deposited at a government mortuary in Durban awaiting further investigation on the cause of death.
First Secretary for Press and Public Relations at Zambia’s High Commission to South Africa Naomi Nyawali says Mr Mbewe’s remains are expected to be repatriated to Zambia once Police investigations are concluded.
