Two people drown during baptism, 15 believed missing

[Grant]

At least two people have drowned during a baptism in the Jukskei River in Bramley Park.

It's understood the congregants were conducting the baptism ritual in the river.

Johannesburg Emergency Services are searching for at least 15 church members also believed to have been washed away by flash floods yesterday.

Let's baptize in human feces. Seems reasonable.

They are in heaven now, just been baptized...

15 missing. How stupid can a group of sheep be

With the amount of effluent running into that river, I'm surprised more people didn't choke to death.

Indeed, it really accentuates the expression "hulle gaan reguit Hemel toe!"

Flash flood. Can be on dry land and it can sweep you away unexpected.

Flash flood. Can be on dry land and it can sweep you away unexpected.

Granted, but all too often these people enter waters that are far beyond their capabilities.

Besides, common sense would be to be aware that flash floods could occur when heavy rains are experienced, so do not frequent rivers until a few days, even weeks, after such rains.

And stay far away from the sea if you cannot swim, even though ankle-deep water may seem safe.

Rather use a swimming pool or PortaPool, but no.

Lucky that there wasn't a watch on the wrist or a bystander would have rushed in to steal it.

Survivors to please line up for their circumcisions.

Did @Grant baptise them with caustic soda or something?

Didn't they bring noodle tubes with?
