GEORGE NEWS - Local municipalities urge the public to avoid hiking, cycling or recreational activities in mountainous and high-risk terrain at present.
Ongoing wet and unstable conditions have made these areas extremely slippery and dangerous.
An incident earlier today required a medical helicopter evacuation after a hiker sustained a serious injury at Tierkop.
Such helicopters are a critical resource reserved for distressed and inaccessible areas, and unnecessary deployments place strain on emergency response capacity.
Members of the public are strongly advised to postpone mountain activities until conditions improve and it is declared safe to do so.
Your cooperation helps ensure that emergency resources remain available for communities and critical incidents.
