10 drown in KZN incidents
LifeSaving South Africa says there have been ten reported drownings in KwaZulu-Natal over the past four days.
The organisation is urging parents to be vigilant as we enter the summer months, saying many drownings involve children.
On Saturday, the bodies of four children were recovered from the Mountain Park Dam in Bulwer in the Midlands.
It is understood the victims had been part of a group of nine children playing on a boat on Friday when it capsized.
On the same day, a 14-year-old boy and a 33-year-old man drowned at Snake Park and South beaches respectively.
LifeSaving SA General Manager Helen Herbert says people must be responsible to avoid such incidents.
"Always ensure that there's a responsible adult with your children at all times. For the children, for anybody that's going down to the beach, please swim between the red and yellow flags. Listen to the lifeguards. If you don't know how to swim, don't go into the deep water," she said.
