Tragedy has struck the small village of Ndalama in Chiradzulu, as a young boy was found dead on the road.
Although his identity and age have yet to be determined, local police suspect that he was suffering from mental instability.
According to Constable Cosmas Kagulo, the police spokesperson for the district, the boy died from hypoglycemia, which is a condition caused by low sugar levels in the blood.
This was determined from post-mortem results and is believed to have been caused by starvation.
