Three baby goats rescued from cliff in Pinetown
The goats were stranded on the cliff for three days, before Kloof and Highway SPCA alerted rescue services.
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.
