He confirmed that 31-year-old Frans Mangundu, who was rushed to Windhoek together with Weyulu Edward Ndinomolo, died on May 16 in the intensive care unit of Windhoek Central Hospital.Ndinomolo (35) was discharged.Mangundu died a week after he and a dozen fellow workers indulged in ‘okatokele’ that was made with maize that Police suspect was sprayed with pesticides.Munyika said the autopsy reports will take considerable time as some of the tests had to be done in South Africa.He confirmed that 31-year-old Frans Mangundu, who was rushed to Windhoek together with Weyulu Edward Ndinomolo, died on May 16 in the intensive care unit of Windhoek Central Hospital.Ndinomolo (35) was discharged.Mangundu died a week after he and a dozen fellow workers indulged in ‘okatokele’ that was made with maize that Police suspect was sprayed with pesticides.Munyika said the autopsy reports will take considerable time as some of the tests had to be done in South Africa.
