The body of a 19-year-old male who went missing two days ago at Blythedale beach at KwaDukuza on the north coast of KwaZulu-Natal has been recovered.

It’s alleged that the teenager had been swimming with friends at the beach when he got into difficulty while in the water.

Medical Rescue IPSS Spokesperson Paul Herbst says: “IPSS medical recue together with KwaDukuza lifeguards has recovered the body of a 19-year-old boy that went missing on Sunday. The body was retrieved by the KwaDukuza lifeguards and he was spotted earlier this afternoon approximately two kilometres south of the entry point.”

Floods in KZN

Heavy rains are causing havoc in some parts of KwaZulu-Natal. In areas like Ladysmith and Msinga, flash flooding has led to some residents being trapped.

The KZN Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) has started evacuating residents in these areas.

CoGTA says the town of Ladysmith received significant rainfall over the weekend which led to the Kliprivier bursting its banks and flooding parts of the CBD.

Head of the department for local projects SA, Abed Karim from the Alim Daad Foundation is on the ground:
