THE death of a woman, who was swept away by flood water on the outskirts of Otjiwarongo about two weeks ago, inspired a well known business personality of the town to build a pedestrian bridge over the river where the tragedy occurred.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old Elise Shafooli along with three other women were walking back to their homes from a charcoal manufacturing plant on a farm where they work when she got swept away by flood water.<\/p>\n

Her lifeless body was discovered the day after the tragic incident near the Otjiwarongo Military Base.<\/p>\n
