A man has tragically lost his life following a boating accident on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred when an inflatable boat carrying five people capsized near Park Rynie Beach.
IPSS Medical Rescue responded to the distress call from a local ski-boat club. Upon arrival, rescuers pulled three men and a woman from the water. While the four survivors sustained only minor injuries, they declined hospital transport after being evaluated by medical personnel.
IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson Samantha Meyrick expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. "Our condolences go out to the friends and family of the deceased," she said.
