Helicopters of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and members of the Sasolburg Search and Rescue Unit were deployed to retrieve the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The operation was delayed for two days due to poor weather conditions, making it difficult to manoeuvre in the mountainous terrain. The scene, located approximately eight kilometres from the nearest villages, was inaccessible to vehicles, says Warrant Officer Mmako Mophiring, police spokesperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/bloemnewsexpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Rescue1.jpg\" alt=\"Mountain operation\" class=\"wp-image-266916\" style=\"width:399px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Screen shot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Free State Airwing Unit was activated for retrieval, with its female chief helicopter pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Kgothatso Khunou, accompanied by crew members Sergeant Campbell, and Constable Tshabalala.

The deceased was dressed in black and red track pants labeled \u201cLS\u201d in white and red, along with a camouflage top. The body was in an advanced stage of decomposition, and no visible injuries were noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A post-mortem examination will be conducted to determine the cause of death, and an inquest case is under investigation.
