BRITISH GIRL DIES IN WATERFALL

A SEVEN-year-old girl has become the second British tourist to die in South Africa in the past week after being swept over the Lisbon falls in Graskop, Mpumalanga. The girl and her mother, 32, were viewing the falls when the child slipped into the water. The mother tried to hold onto her daughter, but both were swept away by the current. The mother was airlifted to a Pretoria hospital. Earlier this week a 14-year-old British girl died in a freak accident on the Table Mountain cableway in Cape Town.
