Many people are still missing in at least ten drowning incidents along the KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape coastline. The search for them is continuing. National Sea Rescue Institute spokesperson, Craig Lambinon has again asking bathers to be cautious during this current springtide phase. He says currents and rip tides are stronger than usual.
“NSRI, Police, emergency services and lifeguards are appealing to the public to be cautious during this full moon Spring tide. Only swim at beaches protected by lifeguards. Be cautious and exercise safety on inland waters. Do not drink alcohol and swim. Parents please ensure that your children have responsible adult supervision. Anyone launching any kind of craft onto water, wear your life-jacket and download and use the NSRI SafeTRX smart phone app,” says Lambinon.
