A dream getaway to the Wild Coast in the former Transkei turned into a nightmare for a group of East London friends and their children after they came under attack by balaclava-clad gunmen who fired at their car. However, they managed to escape and drive to a police station where they opened a case.
A 39-year-old Eastern Cape man, who had a near-death experience last week when he was attacked by a shark off the Wild Coast, says the thought of almost being eaten by the sea creature has left him shaken and paralysed with fear.
