The National Sea Rescue Institute together with police dive unit are continuing the search of a 12-year-old boy who went missing in the lagoon at Wortelgat Camp in Hermanus on Saturday. 

NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said the boy was part of a group of 36 children from Langa and Khayelitsha. It is believed that the children went to swim in the lagoon without supervision when the child went missing. 

Lambinon said the boy reportedly was involved in a canoe accident which capsized and the child disappeared under water.

“Despite an extensive search on Saturday no sign of the child was found however the search is continuing today” Lambinon added.
