Cape Town - A fifteen-year-old boy from Manenberg went missing in the surf on Sunday while swimming with family members at Melkbosstrand.
His disappearance came as thousands of families flocked to the city’s beaches and swimming pools ahead of the New Year weekend.
National Sea Rescue Institute spokesperson Craig Lambinon said three sea rescue craft were launched to join in the search and lifeguards were deployed into the surfline to conduct sweeping line-free dive search efforts.
However, despite an extensive air, sea and shoreline search, there was no sign of the teenager, he said. A police dive unit was tasked to continue the search and they will be assisted by services that are on duty in the area.
