  2. I guess that buddy who said “stupid to Peter and his Dpp Govt”, never understand what’s written or just said it out of anger.unless he wants them to have life guards.according to how I understand the life near and around the lake shows parents are not to blame.

  3. May their soul rest in peace,sorry to Mr lake side manda.

    1. My problem is that they look more proud in reporting the issue and its as if they are praising the lake yet it is a sorrowful story.
