Body of drowned KZN teen found
The body of a 16-year-old boy who drowned in Inanda Dam, over the weekend, has been retrieved.
The teen was swept away while swimming on Saturday morning.
This as a family in the Ilembe district is mourning the death of two young brothers aged five and six, who drowned yesterday evening while swimming.
There have been at least five reported deaths owing to drowning; and nearly a hundred reported near-drowns since Saturday in and around Durban.

Netcare 911's Chris Botha is urging beach-goers to be vigilant when swimming.
''We're really calling on people to take caution and be very careful in the sea. It is treacherous and unexpected things can happen so quickly,'' he said.
