A Scottish tourist, who went missing in the Drakensberg mountain five days ago, has still not been found, police said on Wednesday.

Michael Hetherington, 73, was last seen parking his vehicle at Cathedral Peak, before going for a walk in the mountain area on Saturday.

Rescue organiser Andy Wood said Hetherington checked into the Didima Camp near Cathedral Peak on Friday afternoon.

Inspector Jack Haskins on Wednesday said a 20-member search and rescue team was continuing the search.

The tourist's nephew had arrived in KwaZulu-Natal, Haskins said. - Sapa
