Two drown in KZN
Two people have drowned in separate incidents in KZN.
Medics say a man was swept away from shore at Ballito Beach, north of Durban, after he was caught in a rip current on Sunday night.
IPSS Search and Rescue spokesperson Samantha Meyrick says beachgoers managed to pull the bather from the water.
He is believed to have been in his 40s.
"A nurse on holiday from Europe immediately began CPR. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, the man was declared deceased."
