A Richards Bay family was in for an unexpected surprise this week.

The perimeter wall of the Van Zyl family’s Meerensee home was destroyed in a storm in the early hours of Tuesday morning, leaving their home exposed.

Tracy van Zyl recounts how, on Thursday, her daughter went outside after hearing a big splash in their swimming pool.

“Imagine her surprise when she discovered [an] uninvited cow paddling around the pool and its admirers watching from a safe distance,” said Tracy.
