VIDEO: Brave rescue teams risk life and limb to recover body

Tshabalala and four of his friends went on a hiking trail when he apparently wandered off and ended up at the edge of a cliff where he slipped and fell down a slope.

BADFONTEIN – Rescue workers had to tackle very challenging terrain to recover the body of Mr Craig Tshabalala (22) of Johannesburg who plummeted 300 metres to his death in the Verlorenkloof/Badfontein area late Saturday afternoon.

Due to the time and terrain the recovery could only take place the following day.
