The body of a man who was swept off a bridge in the north of KwaZulu-Natal during heavy rains on Sunday has been recovered, a private security and rescue company has said.
He was swept off a bridge at Mslasini, Everest Heights, during heavy rains and his body was recovered about one kilometre downstream. He said the South African Police Service search and rescue and Metro Police officers conducted a brief search on Sunday but the rescue attempt was called off due to inclement weather and rising river levels. At first light the search commenced, but the heavy current made it difficult for rescuers and specialised police dogs to enter the river.
