The National Sea Rescue says fifty-five Pilot whales have beached at Kommetjie and more are still coming.

Spokesperson Craig Lambinon says efforts are underway to get them out to sea as well as to find out what caused the mass stranding.

Lambinon says volunteers from four NSRI stations and marine scientists are on the scene.

Lambinon says the whales started coming onto land this morning and are being kept alive with water.

Captain van Wyk has urged people to stay away from the place for their safety.
