Beach goers have been urged to exercise caution as sharks have been spotted on the South African coastline.
A seasonal warning was issued by The National Sea Rescue Institute. This comes after two surfers had a close encounter with a great white at Plettenberg Bay on Wednesday.
“It is normal during this time of the year when sharks migrate closer to the shore,” NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said.
He added most of the sharks were potted in the Western Cape.
Meanwhile, the shark siren in Muizenberg is out of order which make it difficult to alert beach users.
A new siren is expected to arrive this week from Australia.
