Two feared drowned in the Western Cape

Two people, including a 14-year-old boy, are believed to have drowned in separate incidents in the Western Cape. In Mossel Bay on Sunday, the National Sea Rescue Institute was called to the scene where two children got into difficulty in the water. One of the boys was rescued by a relative, while the other boy is still missing. NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said the search for the missing boy will resume this morning.


Meanwhile, divers and rescue personnel have also started searching again for a 50-year old man who went missing off Paarden Island late on Sunday. He is thought to have gone for a swim, but did not return to the car where his friend was waiting.
