THREE baby goats that were stranded on a cliff in, KwaDabeka, near Pinetown for three days were finally rescued earlier today and taken to safety.
Rescue Tech Control Room received a call from the Kloof and Highway SPCA around 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 Daniela, 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 zip-line 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 baby goats were transported to the Kloof and Highway SPCA, with the hope of them being adopted.
