A trip to harvest grasshoppers in a nearby village nearly ended in tragedy for a Limpopo family after a mother and her two daughters were trapped on a river island for three days.
Thizwikoni Mahosi and her two daughters, Phophi, 16, and Murunwa, 18, were trapped by the Mutale River last Sunday and had to be airlifted three days later.
The three had gone to Matatani village to harvest grasshoppers for food last Saturday.
