Early yesterday evening IPSS Medical Rescue and IPSS Search and Rescue in conjunction with SAPS K9 Search and Rescue responded to reports of a drowning in a river in the Ndwedwe area.
Initial reports indicated that a 9-year-old boy was swimming with friends in the river when he disappeared under the water. Search efforts began as soon as the incident was reported at 17h00 and continued into the early hours of the morning.
The search was continued early this morning and the boy's body was recovered and handed over to Ndwedwe SAPS.
Thank you to all roleplayers on the scene for assisting in bringing the family closure.
Our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.
