A 18-year-old from the Mfuleni township was swept out to sea at Cape Town’s Glen Beach on Saturday afternoon, prompting a major search operation. The teenager was swimming with friends when a strong current pulled him out towards Maidens Cove. The NSRI Bakoven station and NSRI Table Bay crew were immediately activated to begin the search, with assistance from the City of Cape Town water rescue teams, lifeguards, emergency medical services, police, fire and rescue services, and police divers.
Despite extensive air, sea, and shoreline efforts, no signs of the teenager have been found, and an inquest has been opened by the police.
