A 89-year-old man was this afternoon
rescued off Platteklip Gorge on Table Mountain
This is after he became dehydrated due to
the extreme hot conditions.
An emergency services helicopter was dispatched to airlift the patient off the mountain.
Provincial EMS Spokesperson Robert Daniels
said Due to severe winds the helicopter rescue has been aborted and EMS intermediate life
support personnel were deployed to administer treatment and assist the patient
off the mountain.
"He was taken to Medi Clinic in a stable
condition," Daniels added.
