Two pregnant women were rescued from a home that became engulfed in a mudslide in La Mercy, north of Durban, on Tuesday morning.
IPSS Medical Rescue spokesperson Paul Herbst said paramedics, a police search and rescue team and the metro police's search and rescue crew, responded to reports about the mudslide.
"The one bank collapsed and the mudslide engulfed the one house, entrapping two pregnant women. Rescue workers managed to successfully rescue both ladies [and there were] no injuries."
