"A short while ago, K9 was able to locate the body of the man. Due to inaccessibility, SAPS helicopter was activated and was able to retrieve the body. He has been handed over to SAPS for further investigation,” says IPSS Medical Rescue's Samatha Meyrick.
Local government authorities say the number of fatalities from the weekend storms across all KZN districts currently stands at 16.
