PICTURE: NSRIThe National Sea Rescue Institute's (NSRI), Craig Lambinon,
said it appears that the child had been swimming with friends when an adult on
the beach suggested that they return to the beach.
"It is reported that at that stage the child may have
been caught in a rip current. An adult bystander had reportedly attempted to
rescue the child, before the child then disappeared under water."
"Local man,
Duran de Villiers, volunteered his private helicopter that assisted in the
search operation. NSRI rescue swimmers were deployed into the surf to conduct
free dive sweeping line search efforts," added Craig Lambinon, NSRI
spokesperson.
