Strandfontein lifeguards have been lauded as heroes after they sprang into action at a horrific accident scene, calmly treating dozens of injured victims before emergency services arrived. The drama unfolded on Tuesday evening following a head-on collision on Strandfontein Road between Baden Powell Drive and Spine Road.
Lifeguard Lisa Adams told Cape Argus sister publication, Daily Voice that she and her colleague Treasure Sanele Mkhasibe left the beach and were driving behind an Avanza that was involved in the accident. She explains: “The guy swerved out and knocked into a pole.

Faiza Mohamed, said that her 8 year old daughter is a nipper lifeguard training under the Strandfontein lifeguards.
