The body of 45-year-old Esther Mathenjwa, who was swept away in a stream on Wednesday night, has been recovered by community members in Msholozi village outside Mbombela in Mpumalanga.
Mathenjwa was returning home at about 9pm when she was overpowered by water from the stream.
She was the second person to be killed in the stream in two days. On Tuesday, a two-year-old toddler who followed his mother drowned in the stream.
