Barefoot hero rescues two ladies' cars stuck in flooded road
In that freezing cold, windy and rainy Cape Town weather last week Thursday, I was returning home, in the dark, from Milnerton along Marine Drive. Turning left into Milner Street and immediately right into Service Road, I entered what turned out to be much more than a wide puddle. With a car behind me and one coming towards me, there was no way out. I had to keep going through a flooded 30m section, in water up to my doors and bow waves spilling over my bonnet. I almost made it to the far side, but my car then cut out. It was such a relief hearing a cheery voice when I phoned The AA. They assured me that a driver had been dispatched and would be there in 30 minutes. Fezile Tsawu arrived, and with shoes removed and trousers rolled up, he strode into the freezing, almost knee-deep water to hook up my car and hoist it onto his flatbed truck, happily whistling a tune as he worked. Beyond the call of duty, he went back into the water to help another lady who had also stalled in the flooded section a little way behind me, to push her car out. I am so grateful for the professional service I received. The AA, you have wonderful people working for you. Fezile Tsawu, you are a hero! #WIN #WIN
