JUST IN | Lightning Strike Inside Church Tent Kills Three in Senwabarwana

SENWABARWANA, LIMPOPO — Three people were killed after lightning struck inside a tent during a night church service at Radimana Village on Sunday.

The congregation was conducting a service when heavy rain and thunderstorms began. While congregants were singing, lightning suddenly struck the tent, which had been erected in an open field.

Eight people, aged between 12 and 56, all believed to be residents of Sefihlampyana Village, sustained injuries. They were immediately transported to a local healthcare centre.

Tragically, three of the injured victims were certified dead upon arrival. The remaining five were rushed to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

The deceased have been identified by their next of kin as Ribson Mothemane (46), Mosibudi Mokgobu (44), and Glenda Modjadji Ntjana (36).

This incident brings the number of people killed by lightning in Limpopo to five in the space of a week, after two men were struck in Polokwane on the 10th of December.
