The skull that was found at the slimes dam.
According to the police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Peter Masoea, children from Letsatsing village made the grisly find while they were busy hunting. They called a mine security officer who, in turn, notified the police.
When the police officers arrived at the scene, they and a member of the emergency medical services dug up some of the bones.
At the time of the newspaper going to print, no one was in a position to say how long the skeleton had been buried there.
