About 55 whales were stranded on a beach near Cape Town on Saturday and high waves were hampering efforts by rescue teams to get them back into the water.
Volunteers and marine scientists worked to save the whales shortly after the adults and calves first came ashore in bad weather at 5.30am GMT, said Craig Lambinon, spokesperson for the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI).
