The search for two people who allegedly drowned in the Kliprivier continues.
It’s understood a 21-year-old male and an 18-year-old female were washed away during a cleansing ceremony on Saturday.

Joburg Emergency Services said the possibility of finding the pair alive is slim.
Spokesperson Xolile Khumalo: “EMS [emergency management services] urges the community of Joburg, especially traditional healers to please ensure that their congregants are their priority when conducting these rituals and ceremonies.”
