The RUSA Robinson R44 Helicopter will be lifting off shortly from the Helipad to search for ten (10) bodies that are missing after fourteen (14) people from two (2) families have swept away during the floods in Kwazulu Natal this week.

The Pilot & Crew will be lifting off shortly heading to a river in the vicinity of the Seme Store in Mzinyathi.
Weather dependent/rain/poor visibility, the search will be abandoned at the discretion of the Pilot.
