Hostellerie de France Lodge closed in Blantyre over the death of a boy

Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Wildlife has sealed Hostellerie de France Lodge in Namiwawa Township in the commercial capital Blantyre over negligence of some workers resulting to the death of a 9 year old boy.

The fact of the matter is that a week ago the boy together with his sister went to the Lodge to have fun ahead of the schools opening on October 10, 2022.

While there, the boy drowned in a swimming pool in full view of workers but the workers refused to rescue the boy, saying they were on strike.

It took the intervention of well-wishers to rescue the boy but it was too late.

The boy was pronounced dead upon arrival at Queen Elizabeth Central (QECH) in Blantyre hours later.
