Table Mountain’s Rescue Heroes | Carte Blanche | M-Net

As beaches were closed during much of COVID-19 lockdown, Table Mountain became a favourite escape for Capetonians looking for fresh air and exercise. With its easy access points and stunning views, paths became crowded and, for many who ventured up, the capricious weather and extreme wilderness conditions proved too much. This year has seen over 50 incidents, some requiring logistically complex rescue operations by a large group of rescue organisations. As rescues are done free of charge in South Africa, Wilderness Search and Rescue urges people to call for aid rather than risk further injury by trying to rescue themselves. Carte Blanche meets some incredible volunteers prepared to face the risk on behalf of strangers. #CarteBlanche --- Visit the Carte Blanche official site: https://mnet.dstv.com/show/carte-blanche Watch more series and movies on Showmax, start your 14-day free trial here: https://bit.ly/36PFSr0 Like Carte Blanche on Facebook:   / carteblanchetv   Follow Carte Blanche on Twitter:   / carteblanchetv   Be a fan on Instagram:   / carteblanchetv
