The Ripple with Penny Fourie

Loading player...
When someone goes missing, or a life is at risk, this is the team that gets called.

IPSS Search and Rescue is a North Coast non profit unit working on the front line of missing person cases and emergency response.

They operate across KwaDukuza and surrounding areas, often mobilising quickly when time matters most.

Their work is complex, it is time critical, and it often happens in difficult conditions.

But behind every operation is a team focused on one thing. Bringing people home and supporting families through some of their most uncertain moments.

This week on The Ripple, we speak to Sam Merrick and her team about what it really takes to do this work.
