Councillor Thifhelimbilu Liphadzi said they don’t know what might have killed him as he was living alone.
“We are struggling to locate his family and even his friend doesn't know him well. The owner of the house said he doesn’t know anyone staying at his house. We have a big concern about people who build houses and don't live in them, as well as undeveloped stands, which end up creating problems,” he said.
Vhembe police spokesman Sergeant Vuledzani Dathi confirmed the incident and said the dead man is alleged to have been living alone.
“He was positively found as a slightly decomposed body. The body was taken to the local government mortuary for autopsy and further police investigations,” said Dathi.
Anyone with information regarding this incident should call investigating officer Sergeant Makhuvha on 082 469 1397.
