Search continues for body of suspected drowning victim at Cape Town’s Monwabisi Beach

The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) continued its search at Monwabisi Beach in Khayelitsha on Sunday for the body of a 35-year-old man, believed to have drowned while swimming with friends.

The NSRI said friends of the man raised the alarm after noticing he had not returned to the beach after a swim.

Spokesperson Craig Lambinon said community members spotted the man floating in the ocean and tried desperately to save him without joy.

“On arrival on the scene an extensive search commenced for the missing man,” said Lambinon.

“Despite an extensive air, sea, and shoreline search there remains no sign of the missing man. Police divers attended at the scene, and they are continuing in an ongoing search operation. Thoughts are with the family and friends of the missing man in this difficult time.”
