Imbaula claims two lives in Ivory Park

EMS spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi said, “A woman and her two-year-old son died of severe carbon monoxide inhalation. The husband and the other child, an 8-year-old boy, were treated on the scene and later taken to a hospital for further medical care.”

Mulaudzi stressed that people must not use imbaula, known as braziers, in areas that are not well ventilated and must not leave the fire burning on while they are sleeping.
