While the search for a third person presumed to have drowned continues along the Gqeberha beachfront, the police have released the names of the two victims whose bodies were recovered on Sunday evening.
Quick-thinking Gqeberha beachgoers averted a potential tragedy after a motorboat flipped near the Swartkops Estuary mouth and one of two fishermen was washed out to sea.
After a weekend of rough seas and high winds, a 26-year-old spearfisherman took advantage of the calmer weather to take to the sea from the rocks at the Willows Coastal Resort, near Noordhoek, on Tuesday.
