Eight-year-old Michael Naidoo was swimming in the Rough Dam near the school on Friday afternoon. According to reports, the Grade 3 boy was trying to dive from a tree but hit his head on a branch before falling into the water. Bongi, who was on her way home from school, saw the boy floating in the dam. She immediately dived in to rescue him. She is the swimming captain at her school, and she also has a certificate in first aid. Bongi brought the boy to the shore and revived him. She knew how to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The Red Cross says that life-saving techniques like this are not difficult, but you must act quickly. If someone stops breathing, you must act immediately. Fortunately, Bongi’s friend, Ann Brown, was also passing the scene of the accident. Her dog started to bark, and she went to the site where Bongi was assisting the boy. She alerted the school principal, who called the rescue services. Bongi will receive a reward for her bravery and for saving Michael Naidoo’s life.
