It has been a busy week for sea rescuers and the police, after two bodies were found at two beaches, one of which is a man who drowned in September.
Early on Monday morning, members from the National Sea Rescue Institute , together with the SAPS, were called out to Kalk Bay, where they found a body floating near the shore.
Police spokesperson Captain FC van Wyk said they were requesting witnesses of the Kalk Bay drowning to come forward. “Any witnesses to the drowning are kindly requested to contact Sergeant Teichardt on 021 787 9000,” said Van Wyk. “On arrival on the scene, we found two bystanders in the water, one equipped with an NSRI pink rescue buoy, who had both volunteered to enter the water to try to rescue a 32-year-old male, who had fallen off a paddle-ski about 30m off-shore, before disappearing under water, while public members raised the alarm.
