A man is missing and presumed drowned at Skuinsbank, between the Kaaiman’s River mouth and Victoria Bay along the Cape south coast after he was swept out to sea while fishing.

The 34 year-old Conrad Kabb had been fishing from the rocks yesterday with two young boys and a young girl.

“The search is continuing for the George resident. Today, the police unit as well as an NSRI rescue craft, the fire and rescue services using a quad bike for shore searches as well as metro rescue helicopter have continued to search but nothing has been found up to now and the search is continuing,” says NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon.

The NSRI has appealed to anglers fishing from the shore or wading to wear life jackets.
