Durban – A man believed to have gone missing a few days ago was found in the Msunduzi area, near Cato Ridge, KwaZulu-Natal earlier on Thursday.
It is understood that the South African Community Crime Watch (Upper Highway area) got a group of volunteers together to search for the man. They have been searching tirelessly.

He was treated, and with the assistance of the community, carried out of the area.
He was transported to hospital for further medical care.
The exact circumstances as to how he got stranded in the ravine are unclear.
