Two separate drowning incidents have left two children in hospital and an elderly woman dead.

Two Randburg children were believed to have been found in a residential pool.

A four year-old and his seven year-old brother were believed to have been rescued by their older brother and are being treated in hospital. Meanwhile, an elderly woman was found in Mbekweni, floating in a dam on a road between Paarl and Newtown.

ER24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said that the children were in a stable condition with water inhalation and swallowing pool water.

“Sadly the woman, there was nothing more paramedics and rescuers could do for her; she was pulled from the water and declared deceased” she added.

The police are investigating the particular incident
