The National Sea Rescue Institute in Melkbossstrand attended to an incident whereby it was reported that two females who were cousins were caught in rip current while swimming in the surf.
One of the women managed to swim to shore
and called for help.
NSRI Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said an
NSRI Melkbossstrand swimmer happened to be in the area at the time when the woman
was screaming for help.
Lambinon said the NSRI swimmer found the
screaming women and told him that her cousin was being swept out to sea. He launched
into the water and was assisted by a surfer and managed to bring the
19-year-old female from Bloemfontein
Meanwhile in another incident a 59-year-old
woman went missing after going for a walk in Jeffrey’s Bay.

NSRI in Jeffery’s Bay launched a search and found the women 20 minutes into the
search wandering on the beach.
