Search For 2 Missing Congregants To Resume Today

The search for two missing church members has been suspended for Monday.

It will resume on Tuesday.

Johannesburg emergency services say this is to allow the river streams to cool off.

The missing 18-year-old girl and 21-year-old man are believed to have been washed away during a ritual at Klip River near Olifantsvlei over the weekend.

Johannesburg EMS spokesperson Robert Mulaudzi said, “due to the intense search and recovery operation we had from 8 around this morning, we have decided to call off the search for today [Monday].”

“We will be resuming tomorrow [Tuesday] morning.”

“We want to allow the river streams to give off so that tomorrow we can have options to explore.”
