Three goats rescued from cliff in KZN
The goats were stranded on the cliff for three days before rescue services came.
Three goats that were stranded on a cliff in KwaDabeka, near Pinetown, for three days were finally rescued yesterday and taken to safety, Highway Mail reports.
Rescue Tech Control Room received a call from the Kloof and Highway SPCA at about 4pm, informing them about three goats that were stuck on a cliff in torrid rain weather for the last three days.
With the assistance of Daniella, a volunteer mountain climber, who was summoned from Drummond and a team from Search and Rescue, Rescue Tech, they abseiled down to where the goats were stranded on a ledge.
“They kept changing positions and moving up and down, making it very difficult for the rescuers to actually reach them. But they were eventually caught, put into a basket and using a zipline rescue service, taken to safety in a matter of an hour and 45 minutes. A job well done,” said Andreas Mathios, who was at the scene.
The goats were transported to the Kloof and Highway SPCA until they can be adopted.
