“We quickly got all our members up and ready to respond to emergency at Kloof Gorge. The neighbourhood watch and Blue security managed to locate which side of the Kloof Gorge the man was in. Two of our members walked down to the man to assess his injuries,” read the post on the Rescuetech Search and Rescue Facebook page.
