Water rescue for 2 students at Potchefstroom Dam

water Rescue Two students were in an inflatable swimming pool type boat on the Potchefstroom Dam which was in flood.

They became entangled in a piece of rope in the Mooiriver, and the water was too strong and they were unable to get to the river bank to get out. They then clung to a small tree in the river until help arrived. ER24 paramedics treated the two for mild hypothermia as they had been in the water for approximately an hour.
