A 32 year old man has drowned at the Midmar Dam earlier this afternoon.
The man’s friends had allegedly lost sight of him before alerting the authorities. A rescue team from the local police services and a diving unit responded to the scene. The man’s body was pulled from the water 15 minutes later.
ER24 paramedics later declared the man dead at the scene. ER24 would like to advice all bathers to be careful and swim in the designated areas this holiday season.
