Several search and rescue organisations in Plettenberg Bay will be embarking on a search and rescue training exercise on Wednesday, August 23.
Plettenberg Bay residents and visitors have been warned not to be alarmed when they see rescue workers out in full force on Wednesday August 23, as several organisations will be participating in a training exercise.
