The source of Linthipe River in Dedza turned blood red on Wednesday, December 19, 2018, shocking residents living along the river.
Shocked residents of Nthandizi and Airfield in Dedza said the blood like flow was noticed at around 2pm.
"As usual, we came to this place to wash our clothes besides drawing water for home use. But to our surprise we saw that blood like stuff was flowing in the river. This scared us and we called some people to witness the bizarre phenomenon," one woman said.
Conflicting information has emerged, with some saying the blood red water is colored by red oxide from a nearby mine, and others arguing the water is dyed by blood. Some geologists however are saying the discharge is from a red oxide mine located closer to the river.

Comment: As noted above, the cause of these rivers suddenly turning red could be due to algae, contamination from a mine or even deliberate industrial pollution, but the question remains why so many waterways across the planet are suddenly being affected in this way? Could it be related to the ground becoming increasingly unstable, changes in the properties of the water or is it just increased negligence from manufacturers?
